“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony.” These poetic lines are through the courtesy of William Shakespeare, but the melodies in this ’Music For A Moonlight Rendezvous’ are with the compliments of Bill Snyder, his Orchestra and Chorus. Here is a romantic interlude beneath a silver mantle of moonbeams with starry skies...music for that right moment, performed with the sophisticated enchantment that is Bill Snyder’s trademark. Each selection is an idyllic invitation to love, expressed in a particular melodic mood and kindled by the tasteful Snyder flair and musicianship. In this enticing rendezvous – the rapture of Our Romance is in contrast to the irresistibly low-down Blue Flame; the anticipant feeling Before Another Spring becomes mellow and reminiscent in the mystic charm of Theme For Billie; and the vocal allure of On A Little Island and Follow The South Wind complements Bill’s modern-day keyboard virtuosity in the classically oriented All This I Know, Pink Moonlight and Concerto D’Amour. The classical touch is further enhanced by a poetic rendering of one of the most popular Italian themes – Toselli’s Serenade. Equally famous is the romantic Estrellita, to which Bill’s eloquent piano brings added glitter in an up-to-date styling. But it is Our Rendezvous that contributes all the trimmings – a country inn, a violin, a table set for two, dim lighting, and a bright heart-warming melody. Thus, sculptured by starlight and under the indelible spell of romance, this ’Music For A Moonlight Rendezvous’ is a truly provocative adventure in melody.
