[78-L] Flowers and Trees

[DAVID BURNHAM]

To Martha

THANK YOU!  As you can imagine, when I read your e-mail I had a slap to the head "of course" moment.  I first saw that at Disney World in Florida in 2004 and, although I know the piece so well, I simply couldn't put a title to it.  At first I thought it was "Elegie" by Massenet but, of course that wasn't it.  I was trying to think of a piece of music which had a morning or pastoral connection but nothing worked.  I know I have a 12 inch version of it on Black labeled Victor, but I don't think it's Paul Whiteman conducting.  I'll take a look when I get home, (I'm at a cottage at the moment trying to squeeze some last minute summer out of this hopeless season, at least in this part of the world - Southern Ontario).

Now I'll sleep tonight.

Thanks again!
Dave b

It's one of those pieces which is so familiar, like Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" but I can't put a name on it. There are all sorts of web-sites where you can see the cartoon.
