FORGOTTEN DREAMS was completed on May 28, 1954. The first performance was a few days later on June 2nd during a recording session for Delta Records in New York, at which time Leroy Anderson performed the piano solo himself. Although the main theme of FORGOTTEN DREAMS was intended to be played on the piano (and with simplicity), the composer’s band edition of the piece allowed for a solo flute to substitute (Play only in absence of Piano). It is also suggested the melody might be beautifully rendered on vibraphone due to the sustaining quality of that instrument. In any event, this charmingly romantic miniature will delight audiences whenever it is performed. This edition includes a full score.

Affectionately known as “Tommie” and referred to as the “Maestro” by gospel music professionals, Thomas Whitfield should be considered the Dean of Contemporary Gospel Music. Whitfield’s work with his ensemble, The Thomas Whitfield Company, set a standard for contemporary gospel choral singing. His revelatory blending of gospel, jazz, and classicism explored previously uncharted territory in gospel music. As the “Master Producer,” he provided the foundation for studio production standards within the genre while elevating the careers of some of gospel music’s most beloved voices, including Vanessa Bell Armstrong and Yolanda Adams. His sudden passing in 1992 proved a tragic blow to the gospel music community. However, he left an indelible mark on the industry, and his distinctive sound is heard in all of gospel music today. The songs included in this set represent but a brief overview of his musical legacy…just in case you’ve forgotten. Contents: Look and Live (G-9706) • Blessed Be the Ties (G-9929) • With My Whole Heart (G-9177) • I Shall Wear a Crown (G-9350) • Walk in the Light (G-9349) • Gos Is on Our Side (G-9571) • When I'm Weak, I'm Strong (G-9570) • Just in Case You've Forgotten (G-9962) • Only a Look (G-9961) • Down at the Cross (G-9772).

Liszt composed the Romance oubliee around 1844 for Piano. It was forgotten until he heard Violist Hermann Ritter at the first performance of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at Bayreuth. He fashioned for Ritter a transcription of the work for Viola and Piano as well as ones for the Piano, Violin and Violoncello.
In this short work, the listener hears the agonies of a troubled soul, beginning with a rhapsodic passage, continuing with a cadenza-like section, then a section with arpeggiated figures, finally settling into a peaceful ending.
This 4 minute work is appropriate for advanced performers. With Mr. Sauer's arrangement we now have this lovely version for Tuba or Bass Trombone and Piano.

First published and recorded in 1954 (only included at the time on the album "A Leroy Anderson Pops' Concert"), this lovely piano instrumental was released as a UK single in 1957 and hit the charts in early summer.  Decca then issued the track on 45 in the U.S. which enjoyed a moderate success.  Anderson later recorded stereo version of Forgotten Dreams in 1959. The composition features a haunting, romantic melody and its performance is within the reach of most late-intermediate pianists. Written in D major, it contains expressive tempo variations, an animated B section, and arpeggiated chords which require a bit of stretching. Instrumentation: Piano Solo: 2.2.2.2: Saxes(AAT, opt): 4.3.3.0: Bells: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
