Description:
Old-Fashioned Sleigh Ride paints a warm, nostalgic musical portrait of a one-horse, open-sleigh ride like those depicted in a 'picture print by Currier & Ives.' Woven into an easy-going theme are the clip-clop of horse's hooves (temple blocks), the regular ringing of bells on bobtails (sleigh bells), and the occasional whip (slap stick) and horse's whinny (trumpet). This piece is sure to become an instant holiday classic for young bands! (3:00)
