Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride is a holiday favorite, and this setting for advanced piano duet gives it a fresh twist. It begins with Anderson's jingling melody and some musical banter between the primo and secondo players, and then it launches into a series of variations that take the listener on a journey through a variety of styles, from gently swirling, impressionistic arpeggios to a triumphant coda with brilliant, virtuosic passagework. Audiences will enjoy a number of other musical surprises along the way.

I would give it more stars if I could. Sleigh Ride Fantasy is probably the best Sleigh Ride version there is. I was never into the song Sleigh Ride, but now I am. Great song no matter what time of year it is.

This is a fantastic arrangement of this classic.The two young arrangers do an amazing job of taking you on a musical journey that is fun, exciting, emotionally captivating and very enjoyable. If you go to you tube and search sleigh ride variations epic you can see the arrangers performing it. Great fun, and highly recommended.
