Composed by Randol Alan Bass. Piano Duet, Piano Four-hands. Secular, Christmas-Secular/Holiday. 2-piano reduction. Randol Bass Music #RBM-225. Published by Randol Bass Music (EC.RBM-225).A piano duet version of the full orchestra setting on the famous Christmas poem A Visit from St. Nicholas (attributed to Clement Clarke Moore but, in actuality, probably written by an Englishman, Major Henry Livingston, Jr.) was commissioned by the Cleveland Orchestra.
The piece is cinematically conceived, and each poetic image of the narration is imaginatively colored in such a way that audiences can clearly visualize the happenings from passage to passage. Some rehearsal is required to properly align a live performance of the narration, in such a way that the musical framing is synchronized moment-by-moment with the text of the poem.
