Smith/arr. Brian Balmages. Premiered by the
Ohio All-State Band, this stunning and emotional

week before Christmas and Leon, a disgruntled elf
who has just started working in Santa's workshop,
is writing journal entries about each difficult day.
The band replies with a humorously arranged
Christmas carol that provides a snapshot of all the
unfortunate events taking place, such as wooden
soldiers who break rank and fight to defective
reindeer harnesses that accidentally come with
cowbells. But in the end, Leon realizes that his
work is important and that being a Christmas elf
has its rewards. Perfect to feature an administrator
or teacher as narrator. Simply delightful!

touching melody of this famous hymn is treated

work is delayed and extended before the music
evaporates back into its simplest and purest form.
