Synopsis

for SATB and piano or orchestra
Mack Wilberg's new arrangement of The Twelve Days of Christmas for SATB and piano or orchestra is fresh and unconventional. The setting includes witty references in the accompaniment to the music of Brahms, Offenbach, Tchaikovsky, and other familiar tunes that allude to various gifts mentioned in the lyrics. The final round is a race to the finish, fueled with excitement and drama, as the music inches upwards with the recounting of each set of gifts.
Orchestral accompaniment is available on rental.
