4. Is "Holiday for Strings" one of his, too?

5. It sounds like it.
It has the right kind of title.

I forget the name of the famous trumpet piece he wrote that wound up being used as the theme music for so many high school quiz shows on local TV stations.

6. "Buglers' Holiday"
Leroy Anderson is probably the best melodist that ever wrote.

7. Thank you. I knew there was a Holiday connection with Anderson somewhere.
Maybe he didn't write Holiday for Strings? :shrug:

8. I don't remember. But he also wrote "Belle of the Ball," which is another
great melody that everyone's heard. And the Syncopated Clock. ummm...maybe you mentioned that one.

9. The Syncopated Clock is actually my favorite Leroy Anderson tune
It used to be the theme music for the Late Late show.
