By Alvin And The Chipmunks. Composed by Ross Bagdasarian Jr. Arranged by Thomas Tengelsen. This edition: audio, pdf. Christmas, Film/TV, Jazz. Brass Band. 33 pages. Tengelsen Music #1177958. Published by Tengelsen Music (A0.1608011).
The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late) was written by Ross Bagdasarian Sr., also known as Dave Seville, and became an instant holiday hit upon its release in 1958. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts and remained there for three weeks, making it the only Christmas song to ever top the Billboard Hot 100.
Bagdasarian created the distinctive high-pitched voices by recording at half speed and then playing the tape back at normal speed, a technique that helped define the Chipmunks’ signature sound. The song’s playful lyrics and humorous dialogue, especially the famous “ALVIN!” moment, have made it a holiday favorite for decades, even seeing a resurgence with the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie in 2007
This jazzy, upbeat arrangement of The Chipmunk Song would be a perfect addition to any Christmas concert in need of a fun, swinging number. Its lively rhythm and nostalgic charm make it a fantastic choice to add energy and a touch of humor to a festive program.
