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!

This is Canon #2, Ring Out Bells of Joyful Christmas,  is one in a collection of Five Easy Canons for the Church Year. All are composed for SAB Choir and all include optional organ/piano part. Each of these Five Canons were composed for my own small church choir in Manchester, New Hampshire. Choir directors, we all have those Sundays when we can have choir members absent due to seasonal illness or schedule conflicts. You will find each one of  them extremely easy to rehearse quickly. As you know, you only need to teach one easy melody to the entire group and you're all set. You will find each tune charming in its own way, depending on the season. There is one general anthem, one for Christmas, on for Lent or Passiontide, one for Easter and one for Pentecost. Each one is suitable for the smallest church choirs from trios, up to to the largest! Collect all five for easy seasonal planning.
