JINGLE BELLS - Original 1857 Melody & Chorus-Instrumental -Tom Roush
Loading...
Uploaded by MusicOfTomRoush on Dec 2, 2009
This is an instrumental of the original 'Jingle Bells' which was then called 'The One Horse Open Sleigh' As you will hear, the melody of the chorus has been changed over the past 152 years. This jolly Christmas favorite was written by James Pierpont for a Sunday school Thanksgiving performance. The first verse is played by a piano and harpsichord. After that , I've made it a little more interesting (I hope).

The current chorus is mediocre, boring and unimaginative - this version is more beautiful, more harmonically diverse and more fun to sing generally ... thumbs up if you agree

@rossyxan I do agree! I suspect the chorus was changed to accommodate 'musicians' who knew only 3 chords on a guitar.
