 Kalmus is proud to publish an outstanding selection of works from America's premiere composer of
light orchestral classics Leroy Anderson. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Leroy Anderson was given his first piano lessons by his mother,
an organist. He continued musical studies with piano lessons at the New England Conservatory of Music and Harvard, where he studied with Walter Spalding, Edward Ballantine, George Enescu and Walter Piston,
graduating with Masters degree in 1930.
While persuing advanced studies at Harvard in Scandinavian languages, Anderson performed as organist for the university, leading the choir and the University Band, in addition to conducting and arranging for dance bands around Boston. Anderson's activities came to the attention of conductor Arthur Fiedler, who hired Anderson to arrange traditional and popular music for the Boston Pops, as well as commissioning the Anderson original works Jazz Pizzicato (1938) and Jazz Legato (1939). In WWII, Anderson joined the U.S. Army, as a translator and intelligence officer, working on Scandinavian matters. His duties did not prevent him from composing however, and in 1946 Anderson wrote his first hit, The Syncopated Clock. Anderson's musical style, influenced by Gershwin and the folk music of various lands, employs creative instrumental effects and occasionally items not traditionally used as musical instruments, such as typewriters and sandpaper. In 1957, he orchestrated Meredith Willson's 76 Trombones, which became the theme song to the Broadway musical The Music Man. It also inspired him to write his own musical the following year, Goldilocks, which earned a Tony award despite not having much commercial success. Anderson continued to compose orchestral miniatures. For his contribution to the recording industry, Leroy Anderson has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 1988 and his music continues to be a staple of pops orchestra repertoire around the world. |
|||
| Leroy Anderson is one of the great American masters of light orchestral music. Though we have performed his works countless times over the years at the Boston Pops, his music remains forever as young and fresh as the very first day on which it was composed. | |||
