Guild’s tribute to the Greatest American Light Orchestras continues with another selection of well-known names leavened with some of the equally good but less familiar ones. Thus, among the 25 orchestras featured here, we find Xavier Cugat and Leroy Anderson rubbing shoulders with Walter Scharf and Frank Hunter.

Guild’s previous collections of “Library” music from British music publishers have proved popular providing a mixture of titles, some of which have become well-known through their use in Radio and Television programmes, and others which have probably never been used since they were published. Why is a mystery because many of these were written by the same composers and were often as good (and sometimes better) than the famous ones.

Guild’s first two collections of music for the Festive Season have proved surprisingly popular and there have been numerous requests for more. Although some of the carols featured here are on the previous collections, none of the recordings are. The highlight is Victor Hely-Hutchinson’s “Carol Symphony”, a 1927 work which weaves Adeste Fideles, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, The Coventry Carol and Here We Come A Wassailing into a charming musical celebration of Christmas.
