[78-L] Flowers and Trees

[David Lennick]

Paul Whiteman recorded it, but as a ten-incher..not issued till about 1934, I 
think. Shilkret or Bourdon or Pasternak did a twelve-incher with the Victor 
Orchestra.

I still have to check the DVD..I haven't looked at it since I got it a few 
years ago and was disgusted with the idiotic layout, lack of a proper title 
page or TOC etc.

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).

>> This has nothing to do with 78s but it's from the 78 era. Does anyone know the name of the first piece of music in Disney's "Silly Symphony" called "Flowers and Trees"? 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.
