HAPPY SONGS is a departure from the contemporary, featuring new performances of the great masters of the American pop song from the 1920s, 30s and 40s. The music featured - by Gershwin, Arlen, Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart and others - was written during the darkest days of the Depression and World War II, and aimed to lift people's spirits and souls in hard times. The arrangements are crafted true to the period, ranging from big band or strings to duo-piano and solo guitar. Two present-day compositions also find their way into the album's program - by Michael John LaChiusa and Jay Leonhart - and both will be familiar to fans of McDonald's live shows.
