Song of the Bells by Leroy Anderson

Song of the Bells by Leroy Anderson
This waltz was written in 1951......
"....The middle section of this waltz contains something rarely heard: a duet between chimes and bells. The flowing musical themes show why Anderson has been called one of our greatest melodists.
Performed here by Leroy Anderson and his "Pops" Orchestra.

What is unique about leroy anderson is that, no matter what instrument you play in the orchestra., the maestro wrote something for you to solo and shine

Дорогой Найджел! Большое сердечное спасибо . Как всегда работа Ваша на высшем уровне . Будьте здоровы и счастливы . Ваша Марго.

This is a very beautiful waltz. I fell in love with it soon after I listened to it. Leroy Anderson was a genius. Thanks a lot for introducing this beautiful waltz to me.

Growing up in the 1950's, Anderson's music was "never off the radio" here in the UK. He was one of the composers who helped focus my mind on REAL music, as a child - developing along the way a love and appreciation of good music of all types.

Leroy Anderson was a firm favourite of my father and he was always listening to his music when I,too, was growing up in the late 50s and early 60s in London... ! I never fully appreciated the greatness of his music probably because of this... From an early age I discovered Tchaikovsky, which my father disliked...NowI am all grownup,I have rediscovered the delights of Anderson's masterpieces.....Nigel

@@NigelFowlerSutton Why are such composers in some cases underrated?(yes...NOT Anderson) You know the answer....fear of threatening commercialism!!!! Or..."times are changing"?? No...it's NOT the times but the manipulated people.

The picture at 00.28 is Cádiz, in the southwest of Spain. The first bells we see belong to the cathedral.

The song was playing in my head since I heard it on the radio in the early 1950s, but never knew the name of it until now.

Доброе утро , дорогой Найджел . Замечательный альбом , великолепная музыка ! Солнечное утро и отличное настроение . Сороки с пяти утра , у моего окна обсуждают свои новости . Я люблю их слушать , они как люди иногда спокойно общаются , а иногда спорят друг с другом . Дорогой Найджел , не хватает Вашего общения. Каждое утро надеюсь увидеть Вашу новую работу , но все напрасно . Думаю , что Вы решили на этом канале больше не работать , мне будет очень Вас не хватать . Не обижайтесь на злых , которые гавкают из-под забора , хороших людей гораздо больше . Думаю , что Вы не прочитаете и этот мой комментарий , но всё равно пишу .

And share it.

[@NigelFowlerSutton]

Thank you Sergey, you are very kind. Nigel

[@carlmoore3215]

You've heard from me before. THIS ONE is now also in my Music Selections pages on facebook carl.moore.7792 . Most of the music is from 1950s and 1960s, but I do go occasionally into 1970s and sometimes as far back as 1930s.

[@carlmoore3215]

It's the last of 3 new selections put there today. The 1st 2 were Beach Boys' recordings without all the vocals, so this was saved for a surprise in the sequencing I selected.

[@NigelFowlerSutton]

Good day Carl and thank you for your comment. You have an ecletic range of musical interest, which is very interesting. I have followed your facebook page.... Have a good Sunday. Nigel

[@carlmoore3215]

I followed with something from the Peter Pan label. Did you ever hear of that label before?
