Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White was written by Louiguy in 1950 and was recorded 1955 by the Perez Prado orchestra, reaching number one on the Billboard charts.

Two comments for new musicians: 1) the little half-circle with a dot in the middle in measure 1 and two others places is a fermata. This is an Italian term which means hold. Hold this note longer than the others before proceeding; and 2) the comma in measure 18, between the first and second notes, is a breath mark. Take a breath after holding the first note, before playing the second note.

I hope you have fun playing this piece.

I have reposted this piece. My wife Cynthia and I played it last night, and I realized the final measure should have been a D. S. al Fine, instead of a D. C. al Fine. I have made this change, and added the Segno at measure 2.

I removed the 2 files I posted originally.

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Hi Ralph,

Duly noted and re-downloaded.

That's a nice touch, to add explanations for the scoring annotations
