By Tom Lehrer. By Tom Lehrer. Arranged by Andrew Paterson. This edition: pdf, streaming. Christmas, Comedy, Holiday, Singer/Songwriter. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 5 pages. Andrew Paterson #1198469. Published by Andrew Paterson (A0.1630471).
This is a lead sheet for "A Christmas Carol", a sarcastically funny addition to any Christmas concert, and one of the greatest hits from the late Tom Lehrer: master humourist, pianist and singer/songwriter. If you want to perform this song with singers who don't need to read the full piano accompaniment, this adaptation might be useful to you.
If all you want is Lehrer's published version of "A Christmas Carol" for voice and piano, you can now legally download it at no cost*. However, this lead sheet has several advantages: - Large, easy-to-read layout over 2 pages. - Written out in full with no repeats, so no confusion over lyrics or page turns. - Optional harmony lines (in 2 or 3 parts) which add interest and might suit a group of vocalists or even a small choir. - Compatible with Tom Lehrer's published version for voice and piano. - The PDF is 5 pages in total: the lead sheet is on pages 1 & 2, with the original version for voice and piano included on pages 3-5 for reference.
About the arranger: Andrew Paterson is a singer, choral director and double-bass player from Manchester, UK. He loves arranging his favourite music, and has particular interests in choral music, brass ensembles, jazz, and making performable English translations of obscure folk fusion songs.
