One thing about Mr. Music Maker - he makes all kinds of music. Bubbling champagne waltzes, rollicking polkas, toe-tapping Dixieland, they're all a part of the music that America loves best, the music of Lawrence Welk.
Now, in The Voices and Strings of Lawrence Welk, a new dimension is revealed. Not that Lawrence hasn't used voices and strings before. Indeed, heh as, and the people behind those voices and strings have become top favorites with the listening, viewing and dancing audiences. But this is a very special album, a very special approach to the human voice and its warm musical counterpart.
To begin with, there is a thirty-six voice glee club, specially assembled and trained for this album by Lyn Murray, regarded not alone by Lawrence Welk as this country's outstanding vocal director. Lyn, as a matter of fact, is responsible for not only the vocal but orchestral arrangements, it being Lawrence's desire that the whole album have a unity of sound an approach.
Finally, to top it all off, there are Lawrence's popular and talented solo vocalists - Joe Feeney, Alice Lon, the Lennon Sisters, Maurice Pearson and Jim Roberts.
These, then, are the musical elements of The Voices and Strings of Lawrence Welk, the latest thrilling proof of Lawrence's genius as a picker of talent and tunes, his high standards as a producer, his absolute devotion to the kind of simple and beautiful music that delights the ear, touches the heart and lasts forever.
