About this product

Product Information

Covering the whole of his unique works, this bio-bibliography is an unparalleled resource on the life and music of Leroy Anderson--composer of over 40 popular orchestral miniatures. In his compositions, Leroy Anderson defied the nature of typical orchestral music. His artful combination of a light, pop sound and masterful orchestration into short musical pieces has captivated audiences for years. Young and old, non-musicians and musicians alike have gravitated toward his sound. However, because of the unique nature of his work, Anderson is often overlooked in the study of American music. For the first time, an entire volume has been dedicated to the life and works of Leroy Anderson. This bio-bibliography provides a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in Anderson's unique brand of American orchestral music. A short biography introduces the reader to background information on the composer himself and on his more famous pieces. This is followed by a complete, categorized listing of Anderson's works, a discography, a bibliography of articles written by and about Anderson, and a list of arrangements of his work by Anderson and others. Ten separate appendices at the end of the work ensure ease of navigation and cross-referencing for the reader.

Reviews
"This bio-bibliography, massive when compared with many others in this series, is extremely well organized, making it easy to find very specific kinds of information. Given that there are few books detailing the life of Leroy Anderson, the biographical chapter is especially valuable, relating a sense of his life, his family, his values, and of course, his path in music."- Music Reference Services Quarterly, "[A] magnificent tribute to this outstanding American composer. Not only is it a complete biography, it details in its appendices every aspect of his compositions and arrangements, all in categories with notes, often with his own feelings about the music and how it came to be composed, plus a complete discography."- The Record, "[A] magnificent tribute to this outstanding American composer. Not only is it a complete biography, it details in its appendices every aspect of his compositions and arrangements, all in categories with notes, often with his own feelings about the music and how it came to be composed, plus a complete discography."

Nice book @ a competitive (item) price, packed & sent with good service - received March 06, 2024, thanks! Please consider using direct post via USPS internationally, rather than intermediary postal services for international delivery, as the resultant (usually reduced) postage costs for international buyers would often make your inventory that much more economically competitive.
