Scenes Across The USA That I Have Visited

Music: Leroy Anderson - Serenata

Leroy Anderson (June 29, 1908 May 18, 1975) was an American composer of short, light concert pieces, many of which were introduced by the Boston Pops Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fiedler. John Williams described him as "one of the great American masters of light orchestral music.

His pieces and his recordings during the fifties conducting a studio orchestra were immense commercial successes. "Blue Tango" was the first instrumental recording ever to sell one million copies. His most famous pieces are probably "Sleigh Ride" and "The Syncopated Clock", both of which are instantly recognizable to millions of people. In 1950, WCBS-TV in New York City selected "Syncopated Clock" as the theme song for The Late Show, the WCBS late-night movie. Mitchell Parish added words to "Syncopated Clock", and later wrote lyrics for other Anderson tunes, including "Sleigh Ride", which was not written as a Christmas piece, but as a work that describes a winter event. Anderson started the work during a heat wave in August 1946.[5] From 1952 to 1961, Anderson's composition "Plink, Plank, Plunk!" was used as the theme for the CBS panel show I've Got A Secret.

Anderson's musical style, heavily influenced by George Gershwin and folk music of various lands, employs creative instrumental effects and occasionally makes use of sound-generating items such as typewriters and sandpaper. (Krzysztof Penderecki also uses a typewriter in his orchestral music, in "Fluorescences", but with a decidedly less humorous effect.)

Anderson wrote his Piano Concerto in C in 1953 but withdrew it, feeling that it had weak spots. In 1988 the Anderson family decided to publish the work. Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra released the first recording of this work; three other recordings have since been released.

In 1958, Anderson composed the music for the Broadway show Goldilocks with orchestrations by Philip J. Lang. Even though it earned two Tony awards, Goldilocks did not achieve commercial success. Anderson never wrote another musical, preferring instead to continue writing orchestral miniatures. His pieces, including "The Typewriter", "Bugler's Holiday", and "A Trumpeter's Lullaby" are performed by orchestras and bands ranging from school groups to professional organizations.

Anderson would occasionally appear on the Boston Pops regular concerts on PBS to conduct his own music while Fiedler would sit on the sidelines. For "The Typewriter" Fiedler would don a green eyeshade, roll up his sleeves, and mime working on an old typewriter while the orchestra played.

In 1975, Anderson died of cancer in Woodbury, Connecticut[6][7] and is buried there. [8]

For his contribution to the recording industry, Leroy Anderson has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1620 Vine Street. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1988 and his music continues to be a staple of "pops" orchestra repertoire.

This is a bad joke. This makes it sound like all Americans live in paradise, the truth is, about half of us work our asses off just to live in squallier, while the other half live on unemployment or welfare in squallier. Only less than 1% live as this video portrays, what do you think is going to happen when the unemployment and welfare runs out?

Bad shit is coming people, get ready.

@rouncole1 - Perhaps you would enjoy N. Korea or Iran better?

America is the greatest country on Earth - Why do you think we

are having illegals pouring over the border daily (24/7).

Are you just a pessimist or a Democrat Liberal? They hate

America & her Christian Heritage...

@rouncole1 If it is true that anyone can achieve anything in the States,then I´d like say a thing here. Boys, the only truth about US power ,is within the tremendous Thomas Jeffersons phrase : " A real country CANNOT be made without the bleeding of heroes and cowards ". Consider that US made alliances with industries responsible for warcrimes in WWII. Sleep well, bye.

@itsabouttime123 #2 Historically, when societies break down, after a good 15 days of starvation, mass cannibalism sets in. Look up "the coming food crisis" here on youtube, its a very real possibility. As for Americans christian heritage, the vast majority of the country abandoned God a long time ago, we have turned our backs on him, and we are going to suffer if we dont all run back to him first thing yesterday.

Take this stuff seriously, it can save your life. INFOWARS.COM

@itsabouttime123  #1 *sigh* Calling me a liberal is like calling Obama Benlodin, or Bush Wack, or Hitlery Clinton people. I want a constitutional government, which we havent seen in decades. America was the greatest nation on earth, but we are being occupied by the New World Order, after everything the NWO has done over the near 100 years past, we are now on the brink of a total collapse. What happens when the dollar dies? What happens when you cant afford to buy food?
