Anderson is best known for his short, light concert pieces, many of which were introduced to the public by Arthur Fiedler, who was directing the Boston Pops Orchestra during Anderson’s time. Other pieces included in this concert will be “You’ve Gotta Have Heart” from Damn Yankees by Richard Adler, American Fantasia by Victor Herbert, American Salute by Morton Gould, and America the Beautiful by Samuel A. Ward. A recitation of Casey at the Bat by Ernest Thayer will also be part of the program.
