Sleigh Ride

I thought we needed a bit of festive music on this blog, and Sleigh Ride came to my mind. The original orchestral piece by Leroy Anderson, not the song. I have an anecdote regarding it: I used to bein a concert band as a teenager and we did this very piece and a few others for a Christmas concert. It was great fun, but we really struggled on the day of the performance. A real pain, in fact. So I always remember that night when I hear it. Thankfully the medley of Christmas carols we had afterwards was far more successful.
