Culled from the Sheet Music Collection of the Los Angeles Public Library and published by Angel City Press, “Songs in the Key of Los Angeles” tells the story of Los Angeles through its songs. Featuring the elaborately designed covers of more than one hundred pieces of vintage sheet music, the unprecedented anthology offers a rare musical window into Southern California history—from
California lullabies and Los Angeles waltzes, sunshine rags and sunset serenades, to emerging West Coast jazz and the legacy of Mexican folk traditions.
