Phillip Sear plays a published piano solo version of this orchestral piece by the long-lived American pianist and bandleader Frankie Carle (1903-2001)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Born Francis Nunzio Carlone, Frankie Carle became known as the 'wizard of the keyboard' - a name borne out by the impressive performances that can be found on YouTube!.  He was one of the most popular bandleaders of the 1940s and 1950s, but 'Sunrise Serenade', from 1938, was his biggest success.  After his orchestra disbanded in 1955 he continued his career as a solo player into the 1980s.  You can hear an orchestral version of the serenade here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXv9Fc3VSD0 - I am not sure if this is the original orchestration.  I am playing from a version published in 1938 by the Herman Darewski company in London.  My thumnail features a design by Laurence Jimenez from https://tinyurl.com/vezl8ek .
