for moderate to advanced players… |

repertoire of pieces for fun… |

…There
are some clever ideas in the Gilbert & Sullivan arrangements.
I liked the chirpy opening of the Three Little Maids and
the arrangement of the Cachucha from The Gondoliers… |

…The
arrangements (Five Old American Songs) are imaginative with
the melody frequently moving between the parts and with some
good rhythmic accompaniments in the second part… |

…These
arrangements by George Gruner are pianistic and well-arranged.
They exploit all the possible tonal and harmonic colourings
of the tunes by Jerome Kern and others – likewise in
the Gilbert & Sullivan volume – and have interesting
and complementary decorative material. |

of duets for moderate to advanced players. |

…George
Gruner can always be relied upon for adventurous arrangements…Light
music-lovers not averse to a bit of updated harmonisation
will welcome them, as should Palm Court players. The printed
layout is beautifully clear, and bars are numbered throughout. |

…My own favourite is Jack Strachey’s
In Party Mood, the first 23 seconds of which were used for
years as the signature tune to the radio programme Housewives’ Choice.
This is a rare chance to obtain the whole tune in print.
Highly recommended.
