Review:
Merle Petersen has a way with creative titles and ideas. In this delightful romp she combines "Jingle Bells", "Jolly Old St. Nicholas", and Mozart's "Sleigh Ride" ("Die Schlittenfahrt" from Three German Dances). Sleigh bells add to the magic but are optional, as are the 6 handchimes (G5-D7). Lots of fun techniques are used, even including rolled chords in places. Measures total 108.
