Contact Rutherglen Town Hall Box Office (T: 0141 613 5700) for more information. Meanwhile, here’s a m...usical snippet to get you up and slow-dancing round the living room! Moonlight Serenade is an American popular song composed by Glenn Miller with subsequent lyrics by Mitchell Parish. It was an immediate phenomenon when first released in May 1939 as an instrumental arrangement and was adopted as Millers signature tune. In 1991, Millers recording of Moonlight Serenade was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Jazz critic Gary Giddins wrote about the songs impact and legacy; Miller exuded little warmth on or off the bandstand, but once the band struck up its theme, audiences were done for: throats clutched, eyes softened. Can any other record match Moonlight Serenade for its ability to induce a Pavlovian slobber in so many for so long? (The New Yorker, May 24, 2004). youtube/watch?v=AQseFAcWvtE
