		Though Anderson eventually pursued a career far removed from academic or "serious" music and became the doyen of American light music composers and arrangers, it is clear from the contents of this CD that he was a consummate professional.
		Indeed, Anderson shows himself a master of the musical precis, establishing the mood of each piece within a matter of seconds and then saying what he has to say quickly and effectively.

		Leroy Anderson is certainly one of the memorable and popular of American light music composer and this CD of his music really shines with the strains of the St Louis Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Leonard Slatkin.
		Though this album can't compare to the original Leroy Anderson albums and the evergreen Boston Pops with Arthur Fieldler, it is a fitting tribute to a gem in music that is Leroy Anderson.
		Anderson's two best-known pieces employ this technique: a trumpet simulates a horse's whinny at the end of "Sleigh Ride," while woodblocks indicate the rhythmic imbalance of "The Syncopated Clock." Although Anderson never became a household name, many Americans are probably familiar with several of his other works, including "The Typewriter" and "Blue Tango."
