Описание
Starting from James Pierpont’s classic holiday song, this piece is a irreverental set of
five variations which present the well-known in several unusual contexts: an exotic
dance in a South American style, a Yiddish Waltz, a burlesque number which features a
quartet of soloists. After a much more tame “Chorale-Prélude”, the fughetta on the verse
(“Dashing Through the Snow”) leads to a finial exposition of the theme in a Toccata style.
