Product Description

About this SATB A CAPPELLA Arrangement:

Born of a need for our Christmas quartet to provide fun, entertaining and informative material for caroling indoors and outdoors, this dynamic SATB arrangement was tested and refined in the 2022 Christmas season. It is obviously related to, but different from, the original TTBB version prepared for the men of the Wimberley Community Chorus in 2014. Fun for singers and listeners whether in concerts or caroling. Enjoy.

About the poem Twas the Night Before Christmas

The full poem (only a small portion of which is used in this arrangement) was first published anonymously in 1823 and claimed by Clement Clarke Moore fourteen years later. Properly known as A Visit from St. Nicholas, this child-centered American poem has greatly influenced the concept of Santa Claus since the middle of the 19th Century.

About Chopsticks (originally The Celebrated Chop Waltz)

Written in 1877 by Euphemia Allen - a girl supposedly only sixteen at the time - and under the pseudonym Arthur de Lulli (in order to get it published), Chopsticks has been played all over the world by almost anyone who has been drawn to a keyboard. It is called the Chop Waltz because Allens instructions call for playing the melody with hands held in a position vertical to the keyboard in a chop manner.
