Spring Magic (1946) - Jimmy Saunders

from Decca 20-1876 78 rpm
with Charlie Spivak and his orchestra and The Stardreamers
based on theme from Borodin's String quartet in D-major: adaptation of Music and Lyrics by Alec Wilder, Bert Reisfeld and William Engvick

What a beautiful number! But I think this song was released on RCA Victor not Decca, since that was Spivak's label at the time.

Beautiful and uplifting! Nice to hear another Templeton effort.
Edit: Wilder -- not Alec Templeton, composer-arranger of the same era.

[@Croonr1]

I think you meant Wilder :)

[@Trombonology]

@@Croonr1 Yes -- thanks for catching it. Probably not the first time I've done that with the two musical Alecs. :-)

Most of this melody is the same as “And This Is My Beloved” from Kismet.

Again based on the music of Borodin
