Customer Reviews of Once Upon a Sleigh Ride: The Music of Leroy Anderson
A Delightful Slice of Musical Americana I just love this video. Not only are most of the very familiar favorites by Anderson presented (Sleighride, The Syncopated Clock, Fiddle Faddle, The Typewriter) but they are accompanied by little anecdotes from other musicians and conductors associated with him or his music, as well as members of his family, telling something of how these tunes were written.
And there's an insight into the man himself -- an obviously modest, unassuming, non-spotlight-grabbing, completely normal --genius.
Anyone who even slightly enjoys pop/classical, Sunday-in-the Park kind of music probably is familiar with one or more of Anderson's tunes, and all will enjoy this video -- a positive delight!!
A treat for All
Once Upon A Sleigh Ride is a delightful documentary about the great American Composer, Arranger and Musician, Leroy Anderson. His arrangements and compsitions played an important role in the success of the Boston Pops Orchestra and are artistically portrayed in this video.The music Of Leroy Anderson brings joy and happiness to his audiences. This video is a must for all music lovers!
The Man Behind all that MUSIC!
We know so little about the man who composed music that is so familiar to us! "Sleigh Ride"... "Blue Tango"... "the Syncopated Clock" (the theme for CBS' 'The Late Show' for over 25 years); these are just a few of the pieces that have become such an integral part of our American musical landscape. Finally, here is an entertaining and biographical source on the life and music of Leroy Anderson, the man who is said to have shaped the sound of the Boston Pops.
The documentary begins briefly with a look at the composer's childhood and continues on through his time in the Army when his "Blue Tango" went to #1 on the pop charts. There is rare footage of him on the Ed Sullivan show performing the piece during this period of his life. Also featured is footage of a Boston Pops television special that was dedicated to him. Here we see him conducting and speaking in between the pieces. In addition to this there is rarely seen footage of him in his home in Connecticut and interviews with Mrs. Leroy Anderson, two of his sons, John Williams, Seiji Ozawa, Keith Lockhart, Frederick Fennell and others.
Narrated by Dick Cavett, this is a highly enlightening and endearing portrait of one of America's most famous unknown composers!
