The Snickelways of York

For a winter or Christmas concert, this humorous tale follows the travails of a Yorkshireman as he tries to hurry home on Christmas Eve. An unwise shortcut leads him through the alleyways of York, on a trip around the world, andfinally, a meeting with St. Nick himself. For high school through adult choirs, this “breathless, rollicking 6/8,” a cappella journey includes whistling and onomatopoeia to add to the fun.
