Der weltberühmte Schöpfer des Weihnachtsstandards Sleigh Ride, Leroy Anderson, war der eklektische Assimilator vieler und unterschiedlicher Stile. Seine Werke, die in ihrer bemerkenswerten akustischen Wirkung eine zumindest oberflächliche Verwandtschaft mit denen von David Rose und Robert Farnon aufweisen, sind noch heute aus den regelmäßigen Ausstrahlungen im Radio in liebevoller Erinnerung. Seine Werke, die eine zumindest oberflächliche Verwandtschaft mit denen von David Rose und Robert Farnon zeigen, waren mini-programmatische Szenen aus dem Leben des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, die die Grenzen der konventionellen Salonmusik überschritten. Sie spiegelten die weitreichende musikalische Kultur des Autors wider und schöpften, oft parodiert, aus klassischen Formen, zeitgenössischen Jazz- und Tanztrends und den Werken von Gershwin, Aaron Copland und anderen populären Komponisten. Sein feines Gespür für Melodie und Orchestrierung, untermauert von einfallsreichen und ironisch-humorvollen, augenzwinkernden Gesellschaftskommentaren, wird vielleicht am besten in The Typewriter (1950) veranschaulicht, dessen unkonventionelle Orchestrierung an Sekretärinnen erinnert, die sich im Schreibbüro abrackern.
The world-famous creator of the Christmas standard Sleigh Ride, Leroy Anderson was the eclectic assimilator of many and diverse styles. Still remembered with affection from regular airings on radio, in their notable acoustic effects his works, which show at least superficial kinship to those of David Rose and Robert Farnon, were mini-programmatic scenes of twentieth-century life which transcended the boundaries of conventional salon music. Reflecting the author’s vast musical culture they drew on, and often parodied, accepted classical forms, contemporary jazz and dance trends and the works of Gershwin, Aaron Copland and other popular composers. His fine feeling for melody and orchestration, underpinned by inventive and wry-humoured, tongue-in-cheek social commentary, is perhaps best illustrated in The Typewriter (1950), whose unconventional orchestration evokes prim secretaries slaving away in the typing pool.
