Volume III is filled with dreams and song. You will surely recognize Glenn Miller’s famous Moonlight Serenade, but can you recall Forgotten Melody? Also included is Rosa's own composition, Dreaming. This dreamy number written in 1969 will awaken memories and recall dreams from any audience! It was a hit when played in 2006 by Lew Williams at the ATOS Convention in Tampa, Florida. This last volume also includes what many think is tied with Jalousie (Volume I) as her best arrangement, and that is the lilting and quirky Holiday.
  1. Moonlight Serenade
  2. Manhattan Moonlight
  3. Dreaming (Rosa’s original music)

Rosa Rio lived for many years in Sun City Center, Florida, with her husband Bill Yeoman before her death on May 13, 2010, but she was there at the beginning of the theatre organ. She has been involved with show business in so many forms throughout her career that arranging Broadway show music is just another facet. Just to give you a brief idea of why her arrangements demonstrate superb musicianship, great style, and practical keyboard techniques: She knew these composers and she knew how they wanted their tunes played. This is first-hand knowledge that she used efficiently to make these arrangements: no wasted notes and no superfluous effects. They are moderately easy to moderate and will produce a satisfying and professional sound for you. Gift
