  Serenade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most famous examples of the serenade from the 18th century are undoubtedly the ones by Mozart, which are works in more than four movements, and sometimes as many as ten.
Famous serenades by Mozart include the Haffner Serenade (which he later reworked as the Haffner Symphony, no. 35), and one of his most famous works, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, which is atypical in being for string quartet.
Some examples of serenades in the 20th century include the Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings by Benjamin Britten, the Serenade for piano by Stravinsky, and the movement entitled "Serenade" in Shostakovich's last string quartet, No.

The Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings is a piece of classical music written in 1943 by Benjamin Britten.
The horn plays with the strings to accompany the songs, which are framed by a prologue and an epilogue, which are horn solos.
But his solo career really began with the first performance and recording of Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, which was written for him and Peter Pears, and in which he was able to display his range of technique and expression.

 Carly's' Serenade'a misstep in moonlight - Entertainment - The Washington Times, America's ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
With "Moonlight Serenade," her first release of new material in nearly five years, Carly Simon revisits two earlier projects (1981's "Torch" and 1990's "My Romance") that found the introspective pop/rock songstress covering familiar standards.
"Serenade's" most positive aspects are the 11 lush arrangements, complete with synthesized strings, by producer Richard Perry (who found earlier success with Miss Simon on her 1972 masterpiece, "No Secrets"), Mike Thompson and Lauren Wild that, unfortunately, overpower the star.
Perry's rich orchestration of the album's opener, "Moonlight Serenade," perfectly captures the essence of the big-band era, but when Miss Simon comes in, it's like your cousin Maude performing karaoke -- albeit with spectacular instrumentation -- at the family reunion.

 Cokemachineglow.com - Music reviews
On Elk Lake Serenade, Hayden added piano, pedal steel, synthesizer, a five-piece string section, and horns to his usual vocals-guitar-bass-drums lineup.
It’s not necessarily so much bad as it is depressing, and if you’re not in the mood for that, you’ll probably reach for the skip button.
Hayden’s albums have always been slanted to the sad side, but Elk Lake Serenade is borderline ridiculous, to the listener without a desire for emotional assuagement.

Barret's winning film "Love Serenade" is centered around the art of fishing and the euphoria of falling in love.
Playing out love and seduction in such an offkilter innocent way, "Love Serenade" is an imaginative yet quirky comedy with a suprise ending.
Other than a few punches of fl humor, "Love Serenade" is primarily powered by its touching script rather than a deluge of jokes and explosive action.

 Broadway Serenade   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Broadway Serenade was styled to serve as a bridge between Jeanette MacDonald's operetta image and the lighter, less expensive, and more marketable modern-dress musicals with "swing." Jeanette had "swung" a Herbert number in Sweethearts with great success, and Broadway Serenade gave her several contemporary show songs plus an opera aria.
The plot hinged on the career success of a wife and the simultaneous failure of her husband, a theme becoming hackneyed even in the late thirties when men were acutely sensitive about the changing status of women.
Broadway Serenade is a good example, each bit of business (the tossed hats, the smiling mask in the finale) making a point, but not contributing to the overall pattern or rhythm.

 Rockzilla.net Dean Del Ray, "Lone Mountain Serenade" by William Michael Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Del Ray has been playing professionally since he was in high school and in 1989 moved from his home in Petaluma, California to San Francisco where he has soldiered on while the San Francisco music scene has shrunk in the face of soaring rents and an exodus of artists and musicians for cheaper, friendlier climes.
Rather than a frenetic or self-indulgent approach, Del Ray's is controlled and deliberate, and could be described as classic, as these are certainly well crafted songs, not jams or throwaway lyrics set to music.
In this day when the major labels and their contracted acts have such a stranglehold on the music and the marketing outlets, the most difficult thing for any artist like Dean Del Ray is getting any notice at all.

 Nat King Cole : Penthouse Serenade - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The album confirmed that, whatever success he might be having as a singer, he hadn't lost his touch.
In 1955, with the 12" LP gaining dominance, Cole went back into the studio with Collins, Harris, and drummer Lee Young and cut four more songs to create a 12-track reissue of Penthouse Serenade that was his first full-length LP release.
In 1998, Capitol Jazz again expanded the album, putting out a 19-track CD version by appending an alternate take of "I Surrender Dear" from the 1955 session and six tracks recorded with Collins and Harris (and, on most of them, percussionist Jack Costanzo) from January 1952, four of which were previously unreleased.
