Glenn Miller Orchestra - Moonlight Serenade 

My father loved this song and now it brings tears to my eyes as I realize today would be his 96th birthday. A WW2 veteran and part of the greatest generation. God bless everyone from that era

I heard someone say this about this song and I wholeheartedly agree with it: "This makes me nostalgic for an era I wasn't even alive for."

My uncle was a part of the Glenn Miller Orchestra for at least 10 years, I believe. He recently passed away. So it was really nice being able to see/hear this video of him playing with the Orchestra. He's in the middle row, 2nd trombone player when looking from left to right. At 0:52 they show a close up ❤ RIP uncle Cary. I love you!

everyone always relates this music to their grandparents...sure...it came from their era but really this music is purly timeless...i love it

My dad died in 2004 at the age of 83 and loved this song. He was a world war two vet and loved this country so much. As I get older it makes me realize more each day how proud I am of my father and all those who lived in that era and are now gone... it's really sad because they are almost all gone now. If you see a WW II vet (or even your grandfather who may not have been in the service), give him a hug and thank him. Life is short, and then all we have are memories like this song to make us cry

My 100 year old mom will be dancing to this tune at her grandson's wedding next week. What a blessing!!!! A moment I will treasure forever as will my son and mother. This is her and my dad's favorite song- Moonlight Serenade .

Miller's Moonlight Serenade is timeless. Pure magic.

Number one on my list of romantic songs... and it doesn't require someone singing the word 'love' once.

This is 80 years old... let that sink in

Absolutely LOVE it. Music from the war years is something that never fails to 'get me'. I'm a youngster at 35, but I think music from this period has a vitality that is magnetic.

If America had a theme song during WWII, this was it. It is romantic and bittersweet and could make even the hardest vet a little melancholy.

One of the most beautiful songs ever. The melody is forever in your heart once you hear it.

This music takes us back to the time when a great pleasure of adolescence was for a boy and a girl or a man and a wife to go dancing to such romantic music. This song in particular taught the heart that the healthiest families were created by a couple who married motivated by "True" love which covers all the bases from the spiritual to the physical.

This haunting music Is wonderful. Way before my time but I could listen to it all day. It is like velvet. It will never die. Thank you Glen Miller. ❤

I'm not from this time period at all. But this is the soundtrack of my life. I play in my head. With all the memories what a trip

This was the opening song at my wedding when I was 21 in 1989 :-) Glen Miller and his Band gave me goosebumps then and in 2020, still does.. beautiful.

Yesss..the best ! I love this sound...like a wind in the sky...clouds and blue in my mind

Music doesn't get any better than this

Just buried my grandfather to this song. This song will now remind me of him and his kind heart whenever I hear it.

In my opinion, this is Glenn Miller's best composition...Sooo beautiful and exquisite.

This beautiful music brings up images of all the precious people in their 80s, 90s and older who love to share wonderful stories....we are losing these treasures fast and need to write down their memories ♡

September 2019 and still an unforgettable song!!

I played this for my fathers funeral its unfortunate the greatest generation is leaving us and what is this place going to be like when my grand children are my age

Imagine to be able to hear this live! Where have the orchestra days gone? My husband and I go to the Grand Hotel every year to get away and dance to the classics. They have a jazz band we enjoy and this song always takes me away. Truly the greatest generation. ❤

Classic melody!! Just beautiful in every way!!

Wonderful composition for all times !!

When my mother passed away she left me everything being the only child among her stuff was Glen Miller Record Box Collection plus a Glen Miller LP Record if all the songs this has to be my most favourite someone said the collection was only worth $30 its not the money its the sentimental value the music my mother and everyone in that era listened and danced to its priceless

This song will always be a classic

Whenever I hear this, it takes me back to that Golden Girls episode in the dancehall.....RIP Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty. You are missed sorely.

Deve ter sido lindo viver nos USA nos anos 40 e 50, época de grandes músicos e músicas em bailes de grande estilo. Esse som é fantástico

absolutely love this music, my heart melts everytime I hear it! I believe I'm an old soul from this Era!

I played this tune in highschool as a member of The Ferris High School Jazz Orchestra.

Whenever I hear a Glenn Miller tune, I think of my mother. She grew-up during that era & LOVED his music.

I love this song, exquisite melody 💕🎵🎵

I was privileged to play this in high school. Still the best memories of my life. The most fun I ever had. Sadly....

Concordo plenamente com você Vilson Rodrigues , simplesmente lindo esta Orquestra de Grenn Miller e faz lembrar dos anos 40 .... Um abraço à todos que curtem estas músicas , Mauricio Sambinelli

Ive heard this in the background of so many tv shows and movies and today i finally found out what its called. this is great music!

This song will always bring tears to my eyes. This is pure romance made into a song. So beautiful. Loving. Timeless.

I was one of the grandparents that danced to this beautiful music it brings back so many memories I miss having a dance partner but maybe can get back into the groove. Thank you for the memories

esta maravilhosa orquestra me faz recordar quando ainda criança em belo horizonte, ( 10 ) anos de idade, já atentava para esta musica, na antiga radio jornal do brasil, otimos tempos, presentes nas emissoras de radio, em bhte- minas gerais ainda temos uma grande emissora que toca essas maravilhosas orquestras, me sinto privilegiado por ter bom gosto!!!

This Brings me back to the days when we could go to our favorite club with big bands.and we also went to the YMCA on a Sat nite also big bands.its a shame they don't have the great times we had.

Still a wonderful song !! Now, I'm alone... dancing in my kitchen on my own... remembering those evenings dancing with my dear father... such a long way ago. Sorry for the mistakes I wrote; I'm a 61-year Flemish women and learned a little bit Englisch from the BBC. THANK YOU w347h3r3pOr7 !!!

I grew up with the Big Band Era music. My dad absolutely loved it. And so do I. Glenn Miller is my favorite of all those bands. I've seen the movie so many times that I can't even count, even bought the DVD. "In The Mood" just makes me want to get up and dance, but my favorite is "Moonlight Serenade". His band does a great job of playing his music, but I hear some differences from when he played. It's a shame we never got to hear other 'sounds' he might have created.

I love this precious melody

I can play this song on the clarinet just like this soloist. I truly love this song. 💚💚

Maravilhosa!! Fecho meus olhos e vejo meus pais dançando essa linda música na sala da minha casa! Meu Deus!!! Eu choro, porque a saudade é imensa!!

Everytime i hear this song, my heart skipped a beat..the melody its so heart melting

Timeless Beauty!!

I'm 61 years old, a child of the 70's love 70's music, o have young children for my age, a son 22 and a daughter 18, who also love 70's music but when I hear music from the 30's and 40's it just for some reason touches my heart, I joke about it with my kids and say I was reincarnated lol I was an adopted child, adopted out at 2 years old, maybe my birth mother or grandmother listened to it and I remember it from. them.

Dancing to Glenn Miller Orchestra's beautiful rendition of this song last night was bittersweet for me too…my man and I are getting older. We are reminded to cherish every moment. Thanks for this very special one.

I love moonlight serenade it reminds me of my father who I absolutely adored, I miss him every day

Always was my favourite of the Swing Era; and some pretty nice comments below from Glenn's eternal legion of fans.

Still loving it 2021 and I'm only 51 years old. Lovely.......I miss you nanny and papa!!

Reminds me of my grandfather. We always listened to glenn miller while driving through the streets.

Wow So beautiful. I wish we had live music like this still. Vs what we listen to today imagine dancing in here 😍😍😍

this music touches my heart

The soprano clarinet lead above the alto and tenor sax's is sweet, lush and beautiful. The accompanying brass and rhythm section only further sweeten the harmonically rich mix. One of the most lovely, heartfelt and elegant songs in American history; a true metaphor for the "greatest generation".

This is the song that I want to dance to at my wedding

I completely agree my husband died march 19th 2019 and l miss him terribly and he played tenor sax in the Mick iUrry Orchestra and sometimes he would have a break and we would have a dance and yes it was romantic . We had a wonderful marriage and full of music. I now have a lovely legacy consisting of 4 children 9 grand and 12 great grandchildren with 2 more on the way. They are all full of love and happy. If music be the food of love play on l say. Eastbourne in july they have swing bands that come and play and last year on the anniversary of my husband and l meeting on a blind date on a very rainy night 11th july 1957. We spent 62 wonderful years together. Long live the swing bands l say!!!

This is real music

y dad absolutely loved this he passed in august 2007 its just magnificent music so soothing I can see how he loved it

My parents would dance to this when it came on the radio and when it was over I believe they were misty-eyed,I know why now. Wonderful-ah-wonderful, or is that some one else.?

What a legend ,It is an immortal music ,Well the late GLENN MILLER will be proud of it....

I second that! This music is simply the best music to relax in the world!

Always a great song will arrive when the old world needs it and this is just one of them. I cannot wait to hear what great music we will have In HEAVEN. AMEN 🙏

Makes me remember of my mom and dad dancing...

My mother in law loved this song. So did my parents.

This takes me back to the 1930's era of tv/ movies, ( waaay before my time of course ) and a great song to slow-dance to :)

One of my most loved pieces of music. I had the privelege of dancing to this band with my husband in 1967. I was 27 yrs. old and I must admit that this certainly was a thrill of a life time. I only wished that I could dance again to this band. My husband is gone but I would have another memory of this music. Thank you. Virginia from Midland, Pa.

You know, I just lost my last living uncle a couple years ago in Riverside, he and my Aunt were married for over 50 years, he and my father were very close and all of them are gone now. I listened to shi song after his funeral and I could see all 4 of them dancing to this song in one of those big ballrooms from the 40's. What beautiful horn work in this song. Ageless & timeless too.

I remember my Dad with that Orchestra

Maravilhoso!!!! Lembro de meus pais, e eu com 6 anos de idade. Muito obrigado.

My Grandfather's favorite band! ❤️✌🏼

WOW. As a saxophone player, I played this and many others "in the day". I agree with so many others who have commented, this music will never die and can not be recreated.

Memories of my wonderful parents! Just so beautiful!

MY HUSBAND TOOK ME TO SEE THE MOVIE.HE PASSED AWAY FEB 2012.I MISS HIM SOOO MUCH AND PRAY HIS SPIRIT IS AROUND ME.R.I.P. MY LOVE.

ahh how i love old music , back when life was nice and simple

Musica que mi padre nos enseñó a disfrutar. Dios te tenga en tu Gloria.

Wonderful wonderful...... a masterpiece

Going to see The Glen Miller Orchestra at theatre royal tonight. So thought I'd get myself in the mood!

No better music on earth......Rest in peace, your music lives for ever.............. Zelda

My dad also..memoriws were not the best, but I could see a far away look in his eyes everytime he listened to Glenn Miller..the memories of the 40s must have run deep.

I'm only 18, born in 1991, but I can imagine what it must have been like in 1944, dancing slowly with the love of your life with this beautiful music playing in the background...

This kind of music need to listen whole world. So relaxing and beautiful!

The lights are dimmed. Glenn announces the "last song of tonight". You look around the room for that person you want to share it with. Then you say "good Night" while dancing to MoonLight Serenade. Ahhhhh great memories

Many of the tunes from the 30'sand the war years were superb; but his is most certainly one of the very best. I grew up listening to them as my parents played this music. Both are gone now and dancing to them again with Glenn Miller!

A clarinet playing the melody over the harmony of 4 saxes with a tenor sax playing the same melodic line an octave lower.........The Glenn Miller reed sound lives on!

Romanticismo puro. Sin dudas. Tiempos inolvidables

This song makes me laugh and cry, it´s sooo beautifully played and the tune is timeless!

Ahhhh, magnificent. My mom grew up in that time-period, and we were fortunate in hearing that stuff on her records, when I was a kid. Truly timeless.

essa música não perde o seu brilho!! Amo!!

There will never be another Glen Miller. Absolutely LOVE his timeless music. Clean and not offensive in any way.

I wish more radio stations played this type of music. I am glad to see that more young people are discovering the warm, soothing sounds of big band. It is hard to enjoy the highly commercialized music that tends to dominate the airwaves today. Very little of it will be as eternal as Glenn Miller.

This piece of music is responsible for me being here today. It was my parents first dance, in the late 50s. I grown up listening to Glenn Miller's records. I'm grateful to him for my existence. :)

That was the old classic "Just A-Sittin' and A-Rockin'" by Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, featuring Cootie Williams on the trumpet. Up next on WXR, the Glenn Miller Orchestra with "Moonlight Serenade".

This is my favorite song of all time.

Foi minha primeira musica que ouvi no rádio quando eu tinha nove anos de idade. Não a esqueço nunca!

Increíble que una orquesta en la que predominan los metales logre este sonido tan suave y dulce, como flotar entre nubes, debe ser que todos y cada uno de los músicos tiene una impecable técnica y dominio de su sonido, que belleza.

have ejoyed this music for more than 70 years, and played it as lead alto sax in my hometown band, it' just the best.......

My father was in Ww2 and this brings back memories of him The greatest generation🌹
