Leroy Anderson's approach to his compositions has always been a significant source of inspiration for me. Despite being short and concise, his music is imbued with wit, emotion, and joy. Reflecting on it now, it is truly remarkable to see the profound impact he had on the worlds of film and Broadway music, and how groundbreaking his approach was at that time. While I wouldn't attribute "The Old Anew" solely to him, his influence undeniably shaped the final sound of this piece.
