Leroy Anderson's approach to his compositions has always been a significant source of inspiration for me. Although his pieces are often short and concise, they are imbued with wit, emotion, and joy. Reflecting on his work 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 for his time. While I would not attribute "The Old Anew" solely to his influence, his style undeniably shaped the final sound of this piece.
