Both terrific pieces, which are included on at least one of the Leroy Anderson compilations. There's also a version of the "Lazy Moon" number in which the instrumentation includes tap-dancing sounds. There are also instrumentals of other songs as well ("I Never Know When to Say When"), though I don't know if they were used in the actual show. "The Pussy Foot Ballet" is based on the theme which starts the very exciting and wonderful overture to "Goldilocks".
Another thumbs up on the "Pick-Pocket Tango" from "Redhead". I wish there were visuals of Gwen Verdon and Company dancing this to Bob Fosse's choreography.
Here's the "Pussy Foot" - click on the item which is from the "Leroy Anderson Collection" for the instrumental, which I reckon followed Pat Stanley's delightful vocal in the show. Btw, perhaps Anderson's orchestration reminded the orchestrator of "Gypsy" 's overture about the slide-whistle used a year prior here in "Goldilocks". |
