Light Music

The positive response to the earlier Guild collection "A Trip To The Library" (GLCD5164) has prompted this sequel, which plunders more of the riches to be found in the recorded music libraries (now usually called production music) operated by leading London publishers. The opportunity has also been taken to widen the scope of music covered, because the talented composers who produced this specialised music catered for every kind of mood. The catalogues issued by the publishers often included sections identifying different styles of music. This assisted professional users to find exactly what they wanted without having to check through long numerical lists. For this collection this practice has been revived, with short sections each containing contrasting areas of production music. It is hoped that this will not prevent an enjoyable flow from one mood to another, but the advantage is that it will permit the inclusion of a greater variety of music reflecting the vast repertoire that was available.
