Program Notes
The zany music of the Raymond Scott Quintette, originally recorded in the late 1930s, was a popular resource for the early Warner Bros. cartoons scored by Carl Stalling. Filled with surprise and humor, any fan of Bugs Bunny will recognize these unforgettable themes.
- Program Note from publisher
Powerhouse (1937) is an instrumental musical composition by Harry Warnow, written under the pseudonym Raymond Scott, perhaps best known today as the iconic "assembly line" music in animated cartoons released by Warner Bros.
