Published by MTC Publishing (A0.1268112).Snoopy's Christmas - Choral Arrangement for SSA and Piano by Michael Thomas Coull
A follow-up to The Royal Guardsmen's earlier hit Snoopy vs. the Red Baron, the 1967 hit Snoopy's Christmas is a fictional account of how Snoopy was directed to go out and fight the Red Baron on a bitterly cold Christmas Eve. The Baron has Snoopy at his mercy after a long dogfight, but instead of shooting him down he forces Snoopy to land and offers Snoopy a chivalrous holiday toast. Afterward, Snoopy and the Red Baron fly their separate ways, 'each knowing they'd meet on some other day'.
The song begins with a chorus singing O Tannenbaum. The middle of the song is bridged by chimes ringing out a phrase from Hark the Herald Angels Sing. And the song also references the 1914 Christmas Truce of World War I which was initiated not by German and British commanders, but by the soldiers themselves in the trenches.
This arrangement of Snoopy's Christmas for SSA and piano accompaniment is a great song to sing at any choirs end of year holiday concert. A classic Christmas song that is always a crowd favourite!
