BOSTON POPS ORCHESTRA - Sleigh Ride

[Netman0007]

I love this song. This is my favorite version. :-D

[sweetxkhaos]

I used to love playing this every year at my high school Christmas concert. So much fun! Especially the funky section where the rhythm gets changed up. Love it.

[jdpinbaytown]

This actually is the 1959 version because its in stereo,The 1949 version is identical except its mono stereo didnt exist before 1958.

[Dorda098]

As searats20 has done, we have played this in our High School band before. Then we decided to play it in the Parade right before Santa... Oh well, it's the Christmas season.

[searats20]

Another amazing song we played in our high school band...*sigh* Christmas time, please stay fo a little while longer!!

[heavensmiles777]

oh yeah, and the trumpet "horse" at the end. :) My orchestra teacher from eighth grade always got that part from what he told us. :)

[heavensmiles777]

I love the whip crack in the "farmer gray" parts.

[camerococonut7]

gotta love that random jazz.

[Vrykolass]

[Bluejeans0701]

We are going to celebrate another Christmas in a month. I love to hear this melody as it makes me joyful and merry for the holiday season.

[swimmerB0B]

great, let's turn this into a name-calling slur-fest....

[greenceramicpots]

Im disappointed that the image is not a picture print by Currier and Ives :( other than that its GREAT!! :D

[JeffHendrie]

November, 10, still listening to it. :D

[breadbug13]

@JeffHendrie February 29th for me xD

[JeffHendrie]

Look at the dislikes bar, there's 3, now, dislike this, then, check your IQ, OH MY, it instantly dropped to 0, didn't it? See what I mean? Don't dislike the classics. :)

[PeepsRock309]

3 people are fuckers and fuck there mom at night That's why they disliked it cuz there gay and lesbians.

[Clumsytonks4]

2 people don't believe in Santa.

[JeffHendrie]

I forgot to put this in too: I'm listening to this, and it's not even WINTER yet. November 6, 2011. Also, whenever I put down the date on a hall pass at my school, I put down the wrong year. Like right now, I'm at 1976. I started at 1926. :D

[JeffHendrie]

Holy crap, how do I remember this EXACT version if I don't remember hearing it before? Creepy... maybe I have it on an old record or somthing, and just never read the cover or somthing like that. :)

[geniusboy98]

The orchestral version is a bit better than the band version, because of the the horse whinney at the end!

[fivestander]

best version on youtube!

[Vale9712]

We are gonna play that for the christmas concert!!

[evelynagudo]

I LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS SONG! SO BEAUTIFUL!

[therealjoebloggs]

For two people, these wonderful things are the things they won't remember all through their lives...

[22oblina]

this is my favorite Christmas song!22 days and 3 months left!

[iFilmmak3r]

@22oblina Why are we torturing ourselves? I WANT CHRISTMAS NOW.

[jganzb00]

2 Grinch-y people hated this video! : P

[7106798]

thanx4thepost!....it's beginning to look like X'mas already.

[HyperIla]

Played this song every year for Christmas while I was in highschool! Miss the symphonic band so much!

[eburger2]

Great Song! It's not the Holiday Season until I hear this song. Does anyone have Keith Lockhart conducting the Boston Pops playing Sleigh Ride? That would be great if you could upload it!

[annyct1]

Does anyone have "Baby it's cold Outside" byt the Boston Pops? It's in one one of their albums with Keith Lockhart directing the Pops. It's awesome. If you have it, could you possibly upload it for this season?

[Taigacan]

GO BIG BLUE XD

[fasx56]

what a well done beautiful classic, thanks for posting

[steventilford102497]

My band played this song at our christmas concert.

[LuFFyStRuM]

Thanks I've been looking for this exact version of this song.

[brbgal]

One of my all-time favorite songs. My parents had the Time-Life Treasury of Christmas LP when I was five and I would listen to this over and over.

[meginmd]

Is it just me or are there two versions? I swear there's one where it's violins, not clarinets in the beginning.

[fuchow77]

It is  perfectly well connected even, while riding a sleigh...

[regusted]

This is a pretty good version. There's another instrumental version that receives quite a bit of airplay where the horns do something I don't like - I don't know how to describe it, but it's a lame imitation of what the horns do here at 1:55

[evanellis]

@regusted The swing section?

[marebear0430]

this is the best version of all times, my favorite version of the sleigh ride. without the hollow horse steps.
