Leroy Anderson's melodies have become classic standards the world over. Calvin Custer has taken four of his most popular hits -- "Blue Tango," "Belle of the Ball," "The Syncopated Clock" and "Serenata" -- and combined them into one giant medley. Moderate in difficulty, this medley should be in every orchestra library!
In the full orchestra series, all material (except percussion) is covered in the string writing so the pieces can be performed in their entirety by a string orchestra, or by adding winds and percussion you can perform these works as a full orchestra.
