Leroy Anderson - The Waltzing Cat

Tom and Jerry and a tiny part from Fantasia 2000 helped materialize the wonderful section of Leroy Anderson's music The Waltzing Cat. It is made, with gratitude to Mr. Ofer Toriel, the musician and my teacher in Levinsky: the story behind the animation is his idea.

בתודה למורה עופר טוריאל במדרשת לווינסקי על הרעיון מאחורי האנימציה

[swimbum156]

we just played this songs tonight. It went well

[gozala00]

How did you play it, are you playing in an orchestra? I am on a keyboard can't play it, I wish I could.

The meows are for the strings, the barks are real one (recordings).

I wonder what Hanna and Barbera could have done if they had been allowed to animate their own interpretation of "The Waltzing Cat" in the early '50s.....?

[gozala00]

I wish another would interpret that music, I used to tell a story while it was played in school as a music teacher, it was about a party that a cat was doing while a mouse was watching, continued with a chase and when the mouse was cached the cat returned to his dance with the mouse in his hand, all that was finished with the dog's barking...

大好きな曲です♪　子供のころレコードかけて聞いてました。

I played this song in my college's Symphony Band this past spring, & ever since then, this has been 1 of my favorite songs by Anderson. This is a very fun piece. From 1 cat lover to another, this is a true example of cat behavior.

I always liked Tom better, just saying...

[jarabaa]

Wonderful, toda rabba! I hadn't though of Leroy Anderson for so many years - 40 or more... And then suddenly all the tunes were back in my mind again. (It was thinking about typewriters that did it!) As I have always loved Tom & Jerry, this was a perfect pairing. But it was nice to be reminded what a charming melody it is... What a pleasure, eze oneg - kol rega.
