"Tangled Tunes" Entangled by Albert W. Ketelby
By Russell Wattam

Larry Norman asked if anyone had a copy of the sheet music for Albert
Ketelby's "Tangled Tunes".  Well, I have one complete with all the tune
titles.  The cover has a very nice lithograph of a conductor presiding
over a steaming cauldron, the tunes titles appearing to be tangled in
the steam.  The sheet describes the piece as "A pot-pourri of 106
Favourite Melodies Humourously entangled by Albert W. Ketelby".  The
date given is 1915.  The titles are given below.

Two more pieces in this vein were written by the British march composer
Kenneth Alford: "A Musical Switch" and "The Lightning Switch".  Both
appear on the CD "The Music of Kenneth Alford" (Chandos CHAN 6584)
played by the Band of H.M. Royal Marines.

Albert Ketelby was born in Birmingham, England in 1875 and died on the
Isle of Wight in 1959 and was a popular composer of light music as well
as theatrical, film and chamber pieces.  He sometimes worked under the
assumed names of William Aston and Anton Vodorinski.  He was also for
a time musical director for Columbia Records and was able to retire in
his forties to the Isle of Wight due to the success of his popular
compositions.  Hope this helps

Best wishes,

Russell Wattam
