Sleigh Ride – Sheet Music

Sleigh Ride is a light orchestra standard composed by Leroy Anderson. The composer had the original idea for the piece during a heat wave in July 1946 and finished the work in February 1948. The original recordings were instrumental versions. The lyrics, about riding in a sleigh and other fun wintertime activities, were written by Mitchell Parish in 1950.

It’s a complex little song not for the faint hearted! A couple of unusual key changes into the mix – we worked hard learning this by ear over a winter season.  Well worth the work as it is a glorious sing!
