Original

A Stowaway on Santa's Sleigh. Around the World on Christmas Eve. arranged by Chris Sharp. For concert band. Concert Band. FJH Concert Band. Score only. Full set. score and parts. also available. B1374. Christmas. Grade 3. Score only. Duration 3 minutes. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc. FJ.B1374S. Take a whirlwind world tour on Christmas Eve with A Stowaway on Santa's Sleigh. This medley combines several well-known Christmas tunes, placing them in settings suggestive of various locations around the globe. Audiences will enjoy trying to "guess where we are now. " Our east-to-west journey begins at the North Pole where, as Santa makes his last-minute preparations, our stowaway sneaks aboard the sleigh. With a crack of the whip, they're off. As the reindeer get their bearings, Up on the Housetop is where they'll likely end up many times this evening. A gong note cues an Asian take on Jolly Old St. Nicholas. Then we arrive in Arabia with O Little Town of Bethlehem, placed in a decidedly desertlike atmosphere. Israel is signaled by a Klezmer-like interpretation of We Three Kings. Our journey continues into Russia, with Tchaikovsky's Russian Dance from The Nutcracker. Octoberfest turns into Decemberfest with an oompah rendition of the German tune O Tannenbaum. Over Italy, the jaunty Napoli is invaded by a decidedly saucy Jingle Bells. Rule, Britannia becomes Yule, Britannia as the English carol Deck the Halls makes a brief appearance. Party in Latin America with the Jingle Bells chorus spiced with a generous helping of salsa. Our journey westward ends in the United States with We Wish You a Merry Christmas as John Philip Sousa would have conceived it. Designed for high school groups and upper-level middle school groups. Independence is encouraged, but many lines are cross-cued. Usually includes an expanded percussion section. Grades 3 - 3.5.
