Jingle Bells

James Lord Pierpont

For clarinet and piano

Written in C major, range G3 to A4

A winter sleigh ride: a young man takes Miss Fanny Bright out in a one-horse sleigh, the skinny horse tips them into a snowdrift, and they laugh all the way. It was published in 1857 as “The One Horse Open Sleigh” and does not mention Christmas at all.

Also as a duet for two tubas
