Son of Santa the Barbarian—arr. Randall
Standridge. After the Snowpocalypse,
Santa the Barbarian is at odds with his
son, Nicholas, who wants Christmas to be
merry. Unwilling to relinquish his wintery
hold on the holiday, the not-so-jolly-old elf
refuses. War breaks out between the two,
represented by major and minor modes,
combining elements of Mars, the Bringer
of War; Jolly Old St. Nicholas; Jingle Bells;
Deck the Halls; Fum, Fum, Fum, and more!
Equal parts holiday cheer and epic movie
battle music, this stirring climax to the Santa
the Barbarian series is sure to bring a smile
to performers, audiences, and lovers of
Christmas carnage everywhere. Ho! Ho!
Who will win?
