"Light music" is an extinct term, but one that covers a rich vein of unjustly neglected music. In the "golden age of radio," it was common for a radio network to employ one or more directors of light music, staff arrangers and conductors whose job it was to lead the house orchestra in pop music and what was then considered "light classics," short pieces that were not heavy in the manner of classical symphonic music. Guild Light Music is an imprint devoted to reclaiming the lost heritage of Light Music through a reissue program of original recordings, many of which haven't been re-issued since the era in which they first appeared. This volume, Light Music from the Silver Screen, is taken from pristine copies of recordings made between 1946 and 1953, and at the outset it should be mentioned that the sound quality throughout is consistent and outstanding.
