A Christmas Tale
Beware the Krampus-for Narrator and Band
By Randall D. Standridge
Item: 00-44992
Series: Young Symphonic
Grade 2.5
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
In some European Christmas traditions, Saint Nick (Santa Claus) does not work alone. He travels with the ""Krampus,"" a ""Christmas Devil"" who doles out punishment to bad boys and girls on Christmas Eve. This work serves as a darkly delightful Christmas piece, intended to educate, entertain, and creep out your audience. The poem ""Beware the Krampus"" (written by the composer) helps frame the piece as familiar carols ""The Ukranian Bell Carol,"" ""Up on the Housetop,"" ""Jolly Old St. Nicholas,"" and other holiday favorites are distorted. (4:50)

My director showed us this piece and we were talking since we cant have a concert we would record it as a quick Christmas special. One of the trombone players has a deep voice so he would be the narrator, then we said that the trombone player could chase around the trumpet player(who does the girl screams😂[Daniel, a guy] )at the end. I seriously love band.
