Composer of the Week: Leroy Anderson

This week: Leroy Anderson.

Hailed as one of the great American masters of light symphonic music, he got his start in the family home making music together in the days before radio. This master of 7 languages had a career in military intelligence at the same time as he wrote some of the biggest orchestral pops hits, including that Christmas hit, Sleigh Ride!

Tune in to A Little Night Music every night this week at 7 o’clock!
