After studying at the Royal Manchester College of Music, Gordon Lewin spent five years in the Royal Air Force, presumably as a bandsman and by 1946 was in London and a member of the BBC TV Orchestra, also playing for other ensembles. He performed on over one hundred film soundtracks, including the ´Carry On´ series and ´Dr Who´ and ´Hancock´s Half Hour´, amongst others, for television. Besides a second career in teaching clarinet, saxophone and arranging at Middlesex Polytechnic, Gordon Lewin had over seventy published compositions, arrangements, and edited works to his name including the ´Light Touch´, in two volumes. In the Foreword he mentions that all five contributors were personally known to him as having ´the light touch´ in their varied approaches to ´light music´ which he suggests is defined as much by the ear of the listener as it is by the intention of the performer. Short biographies of the contributors are provided. Book 2 is intended for students at Grade 6 to 8 level.
