Victor Young's Musical Sketchbook

 

Moonlight Serenade

1955

From Billboard -  December 10, 1955: The popular film composer-conductor has included his longer pieces, "Arizona Sketches" and "Manhattan Concerto," here, plus several shorter things. It's a big order of strings-predominant schmaltz that should sell big with fanciers of movie-type music, of followers of the adulterated Tchaikowsky-Gershwin idiom. Good background music, as well as deejay mood stuff.
