By John Denver. By David Leslie Froggatt, Jane Barnes, and Johnny Marks. Arranged by Des McNutty. Rock. Score and parts. 16 pages. Des Press #6445813. Published by Des Press (A0.977355).Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer first hit number one in the US charts sung by Gene Autry over Christmas in 1949, becoming the first No. 1 of the 1950s. Songwriter, Johnny Marks, based this song on the eponymous book first published in 1939.
Before its chart-topping success, Rudolph was first heard in November 1949 on New York Radio (WOR) by crooner Harry Brannon. Since then it has remained an extremely popular seasonal song and has been covered many times by such diverse artists as Bing Crosby, Spike Jones, Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Temptations.
This is a new arrangement, rather than a transcription of a known reccording. It is jazzy in style and rhythmically playful. Watch out for the little tags, such as the intro, coda and between refrains! They symbolise how lost the other reindeer would have been on that foggy night without their red-nosed hero, Rudolph!
The level is on the easier side of "advanced"; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students.
Enjoy!
