Description
This arrangement features Hard the Herald Angles Sing as an introductory motif, followed by humorous treatment of The Twelve Days of Christmas (shortened to less than a week here). A lush setting of Away in a Manager leads to a jazz style version of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, and the medley closes with a rousing march treatment of Jingle Bells in six-eight time, as directed by Mickey Mouse, followed by a two-four setting for the more traditional minded. Merry Christmas to one and all!
