Sleigh Ride

Last update: Tuesday 02nd of December 2008

Sleigh Ride is a popular light orchestral piece, composed by Leroy Anderson. The composer had the original idea for the piece during a heat wave in July, 1946; he finished the work in February, 1948. Lyrics were written by Mitchell Parish in 1950. It was first recorded in 1949 by Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops Orchestra. The song was a hit record on RCA Victor Red Seal 49-0515 (45 rpm) / 10-1484 (78 rpm), and has become the equivalent of a signature song for the orchestra. The 45 rpm version was originally issued on red vinyl. This original mono version has never been available on CD, although the later 1959 re-recording is available in stereo. The orchestra has also recorded the song with John Williams, their conductor from 1979 to 1995, and Keith Lockhart, their current conductor.

Leroy Anderson recorded his version of Sleigh Ride in 1950 on Decca 9-16000 (45 rpm) / 16000 (78 rpm). This monaural version is available on CD as well as his 1959 stereo re-recording. This recording hit the Cashbox magazine best sellers chart when re-released in 1952. Mitch Miller also did a version of this song in 1961, found in the best-selling LP Holiday Sing Along With Mitch.

Although Sleigh Ride is often associated with Christmas, and often appears on Christmas compilation albums, the song's lyrics never specifically mention any holiday or religion except maybe certain Sleigh Ride versions (the Carpenters and Air Supply being examples).

According to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers annual review of Christmas music, Sleigh Ride consistently ranks in the top 10 list of most performed songs during the Christmas season worldwide.

According to author Steve Metcalf in the book "Leroy Anderson: A Bio-Bibliography" , Sleigh Ride... has been performed and recorded by a wider array of musical artists than any other piece in the history of Western music."
