'"Plink, Plank, Plunk!?" Could it be yet another composer of random
notes and sounds? Far from it. Instead it is the work of a composer
without an atonal or serial bone in his body. Leroy Anderson is in
some ways an American version of Eric Coates. They wrote a profusion
of immediately appealing melodies, were gifted orchestrators, had an
active sense of humor, and were more painstaking craftsmen than many
realize.'
