Up on the Housetop by Vicki Tucker Courtney Choir - Sheet Music

By Vicki Tucker Courtney

Written in 1864, Up on the Housetop is known as the second oldest secular Christmas song, with Jingle Bells being the first. It is also the first Yuletide song to focus primarily on Santa Claus. This popular Christmas song has been sung and recorded many times over the years and can be heard in many radio and television commercials.PerformanceThis piece was set in a jazz swing or shuffle rhythm and style which means that the two eighth notes in a beat are treated as a quarter/eighth triplet. This gives a relaxed, but uplifting feel. Be sure to notice the freely sung section from mm. 31 to 37 where the rhythm changes to straight eighth note rhythm. The swing rhythm immediately returns in m. 38. Enjoy!
