As I have stated before, I often suffer from an overactive imagination. This is not precisely true, as I don’t really suffer…I enjoy all of the strange ideas that my mind comes up with. And I have the perfect ace in the hole, too, as any time someone asks me to explain myself, I simply say, “I’m artistic.” But, I digress…
During my career as a composer, I have written a multitude of Christmas works. These are always quite challenging, as you have two factors working against from the outset. One, you are dealing with a very limited amount of recognizable material, as you can only use works that are in the public domain, and two, you are writing in an over-populated genre in which almost every conceivable combination of holiday tunes has been plumbed to death. The challenge, then, is to find a new angle that puts a different spin on well loved holiday classics.
Enter Santa the Barbarian.
In this work, I have reimagined the jolly old elf as a warrior of the winter wastes. The familiar tunes of Up on the Housetop and Jingle Bells are transformed into a war cry for this incarnation of Santa, as he navigates the snowy desert with his eight mighty reign-deer: Basher, Danger, Lancer, Victim, Bomb-it, Brutis, Runner, and Blitz-Them. On Christmas night, he fights his way across the unforgiving terrain in time to bring toys to all the good children, leaving a path of destruction and candy cane carnage in his wake.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from me to you and yours!!

i played bass drum on 2 and 3 and im sending part 4 to my old band director so he can do it with his newer bands
As a band teacher, it makes me so happy to see all these band students in the comments that are excited for this music and band in general - don't ever quit, kids!
Definitely won’t, some days band is the only reason I can get through a day of school.
ok Mr. Gay
I will not quit!! I’m a trumpet player but I get to specially play the marimba for this piece!!!
Ima quit idk how to read tuba notas

My band teacher is having the us play this at the Christmas concert! I luv it so much

My daughter begged her band teacher to let them play this and they wouldn’t. The previous one let the kids the year before and she was so disappointed. We were too.
Awh! That poor baby 🥺 I hope she has healed from her experience… it’s tremendously heartbreaking and it probably left trauma. My heart goes out to your family 😔💔🍷
Uh.. that's why you can't play a song that's been recently played
I played this song in concert band, and I carried the whole song with that tambourine part 😎
carried with marimba 💪
i played tamb too lol
@@lucasfruit2367 tamb gang
So real
More tambourine! ❤
The rest of my band and me agree this is one of the best pieces of music we have played. We love it so much. In the middle of class the teacher that we are in class with yells at us because one of us will sing the melody and the other does trombones ham notes. 😂😂
Thank you!
we always nickname it,
santa the barista
santana the barber
santa barbara
etc
@@alyssafree4970 we just called it santa
@@Hobo_coyote same we call it Santa. I play percussion and I have to beat the crap out of my drum
@@rybread1856 LMAOOOO
My little sister played this at her concert and apparently her band director allowed her to be the narrator and she was so excited and happy, makes me happy to know that she likes band so much
My band director was the narrator. He was having a tad bit of a hard time talking as fast as we were playing
The fact that most of this comment section is playing this song, either from last year or this year is crazy. I play flute and I’m so excited to see how our concert turns out!
Edit: we did it! Our narrator sounded awesome and we played really well!
AAA I ALSO PLAY FLUTE AND WE'RE DOING THIS ON THE 15TH IM SO HYPED
Same except are supposedly narrator quit bc of family issues
@kitsuneteto our concerts are on the same day nice
Wait do you got to HMS?
My band played this last year and this year we are playing santa the barbarian and the pirates of the north pole
My band is playing this for our Christmas concert today. It’s such a cool song in my opinion. As a mallet player this is my favorite song I’ve ever played just because of the amount of cool parts in it! It makes me feel like I’m in a movie!
On god I’m a percussionist and you should look it up with base mallet
Yes” it’s the best part “ says everyone
A little late, but how did it go?
@@greenw3877 we did good. I don’t remember much from last year but I was pretty much the only percussionist that knew what they were doing but that’s ok because no other percussion part matters too much. Still a great song.
@@bradysmith0908 Nice, we’re playing this in 7th grade band, and most people can do their part. Well, besides the percussion and trumpets. I play alto saxophone and we’re fine.
Playing this for my concert this year. IM SO EXCITED!!!!! 🖤💜
THIS SONG IS A TRADITION TO PLAY EVERY CHRISTMAS CONCERT!!!!
Us too 🎉❤
Us too
I’m glad I clicked on this! This is the kind of barbaric Christmas music I need to play in my home this year 💪🏻🎅🏻
I'm playing this song in a concert I have in December. I play the trombone.
Same
I literally love this song so much i didnt play it for my winter concert but it stays in my heart
We're playing this in 7th grade and it's so awesome 😎!!
played this for my 2023 winter concert and it was awesome!
Loved playing this for my band concert, low brass for the win!
I got 2/3 of my band class to sign a petition so we can play this song, but my band teacher threw it away and cried about how unfair it was to her that we didn’t like her choices of original classic Christmas music for our Christmas concert. It’s because of the band teacher that I’m dropping out of band
Don’t drop out! Just get her fired
thats what my class did, but we had more than just that to fire him for @@bloxburgultwerpuniversityoffic
Have like 99% of band drop out so she can deeply regret her decision of abratrlery saying no to your wanted song. For rejecting such a god tier song and forcing you to do her songs that probably sound very average, that teacher should go to faking hell. I'm sorry you have such a bad band teacher. P.S show this to your teacher if you can.
@@bloxburgultwerpuniversityofficshe shouldn't JUST get fired, she should be automatically be sent to hell, cursed by Santa Claus the barbarian forever.
@@EanEan-zu3vx actually we are gonna play it
I can't wait to play this at our Christmas concert! Last year in 6th grade we played a song by Standridge called "Mechanical Monsters" and that was an amazing song to play! I really hope this lives up to it. Band is so fun that I can't wait for marching band!
I love how one of the reindeer names in the description is called "Victim"
im so excited to play this this year with the 8th graders, my band director thought it was going to be cheesy for us high school band kids to play but we all love it!
we are playing this at our christmas concert im so exited
We’re playing this for our Christmas concert :D

I played this piece 2 years ago and still listen to it, my all time fav.
My band teacher wants to play this piece! Im a clarinet player in symphonic band. 🥴
Update: He got the music! Said its arrives next week. Eek! Im so excited!!
me too
I’m a clarinet in a normal band and I love it! me and my friend are the only 1st clarinets and i’m happy bcuz it has high notes.
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! I’m a trombone player in Wind Ensemble This song is sooo fun
We played this song this past week(I play percussion) I got to play the marimba and every time I listen to this song I move my hands to “play” with the song
My band did it too it was lots of fun saying ho ho ho as an alto sax.
Reminds me of The Hall of The Mountain King.
I’m playing this song for my winter concert next month and this is probably my favorite one out of all of them
as a bass and trumpet player both parts to this song were pretty fun to play
Confirmed, everyone loves this piece.. Can't wait to play it for our concert
This song was my favorite part when we were at the concert
Playin this for my christmas concert as tenor sax
This sounds very amazing! My band is thinking of playing that for our christmas concert this year. I play 1st clarinet.
Same i play 1st clarinet too lmao
I played this at my Christmas concert along with 3 other songs but this one was definitely the best out of all of them and I think the rest of my 8th grade band agreed with me
marimba is so satisfying to play on this song
mr mcollugh always bought from you but he changed schools to get his dream job but we are now playing this in 7th cant wait to meet him in 8th when we have a band contest
Playing timpani/tambourine at my winter concert. This song is so cool and I’m exited to play it!
I don’t what it is about the bell sound percussion and what the trumpets do at 2:15 that makes like that one part in particular.
My 9th grade kid played this last night. I've never heard it and he was really excited for us to finally hear it. They did great and this song is awesome, one of the best Christmas songs. Reminds me of Christmas in Skyrim. 😂
I play tuba, and I LOVE the baseline on this piece. Just the rythem alone gives me shivers. Also don't even get me started on tour solo. One the best pieces ever.
"No percussionists were harmed in the making of this video" got me laughing
Im an orchestra kid playing this, AND I FCKING LOVE IT. The band AND orchestra one both go hard
Best Christmas song 🎧 ever written. Best piece I’ve seen in two years
Playing this for a concert this year💪
As a baritone player I loved this piece for our winter concert
i played this for my 7th grade christmas concert, it was amazing:). we had our band director say the words in the beginning:)
I played this last year for my winter concert and it is by far my favorite Christmas song from 7th grade band (bass clarinet)
Thanks so much for making this, our band has had so much fun learning this.
Played this last year and now we are playing part two, can’t wait for part three!
when bringer of war and Christmas have a baby
I loved playing this on toms!
My band teacher is having us play this song ❤❤ It’s really cool sounding!! I play the Bass Clarinet 😊
my friend plays bass clarinet! Im also having to play this for my winter concert. I play cymbals and tam-tam for this piece.
@@zekuoix ooh!! That’s really cool!! We are playing it for our winter concert too! What grade are you?
These is one of the songs im playing for my upcoming christmas concert...
Same here
We played it last year
@@slytherin_swiftie did ya'll do good?
@Garou-m8h yea, considering we were pretty loud and a small middle school band
Yup playing with this song was so fun the trumpets played way to loud in my band tho
As a fulte player im happy the actual to hear the fultes😁
As a Euphonium kid, I love this song amazingly ❤
I’m playing the timpani and tambourine for this and I’m so excited 😂 currently practicing with some bowls and spoons
My band teacher made us sight read this peace and all of us fell in love with it. We ended up playing “The Pirates of the North Pole” instead of this one but it’s so well written and just incredible!!!
Our concert is next week and I’m so so excited!!!
Bro the subtle nod to the dragon lord was so 🔥
This is one of the most fun pieces I’ve ever played as a trombone, absolutely amazing.
I play crash symbols for this song at my concert (7th grade) it’s gonna be so much fun!
I love this and I’m playing it in band but it confusing to look at for clarinet two on here
Guys we just got this for my band, I got the marimba part
That’s sick man! Is it in ff? Bc that marimba part sounds super loud. Am on toms btw
My school is playing this song this year and it's definitely not a waste of time it's fun and amazing to hear once you get it right practice practice practice never stop
My band teacher is having the us play this at the Christmas concert! I luv it so much
I’m playing this next year for my band concert and I’m so excited
I played this song as a viola tonight and we did so good love this song
Love how all the band kids are in the comment section, and here I am.... I viola player, just chilling with this master piece
I may not be a band kid but I have been chosen to speak as Santa! I'm so excited to both speak and witness my first ever band show
Im playing this at my concert too! Im playing the clarinet part.
This song was so fun to play! I always enjoy when I low notes it’s my fav
Funny How Christmas Is A Chubby Guy In Red Breaks Into Your House And Eats Your Cookies And Drinks your Milk- Santa The Barbarian Makes Sense
Our band teacher had us play this last year, Got me obsessed with it after literally only 2 days of review
We did this one last year and this year we’re doing all three, I’m so excited!!
The barbaric part bro instantly stuck in my head
Gonna play this for the winter concert this year, such a good song.

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG TO PLAY ON TROMBONE!!!! now I need a new copy to play it
I played this song in my concert and everyone loved it
I'm currently in 6th grade but I've been playing trumpet for almost 2 years now and I am playing with the 7th graders and this is one of the songs for our concert.
This song is awesome my band is playing this at our concert and I’m so exited
I’m in grade 7 and i got invited to play with the grade 8s and 9s because I was first to finish the song, definitely not confident but it’s getting there…
Where playing this in our winter band consert and it sounds so good I’m so excited
I’m playing this for my Christmas concert today and I’m a percussionist on Marimba. We’ve practiced for months and this is widely agreed to be one of the best things that my band has ever played.
We just sight read this in band today
i loved playing this as a trumpet
What an outstanding original twist on one of the most celebrated holiday jingles!
I started playing the baritone in the fifth grade, moved to the trombone the year after and continue to practice for the next 20 years. I've played just about every instrument I can get my hands on, spun records, dabbled in music production, studied music theory, so and so forth, etc. THIS is very well done. Whomever encouraged your musical pursuit... they should be proud.
Keep up the amazing work! The entire time I was listening to that I was picturing a house music beat driving it into the club. Haha
So music theory was a world wide experience??? 💀💀💀💀
We. are literally playing this music piece in 8th grade band, lets gooo at Simmons Middle School in Aberdeen, I play the trombone and love it, and the solo with the tuba and trombone is so good
nice doxx
Im an orchestra student, BUT WHEN MY CLASSMATES PLAYED THIS, IT MADE ME ACEND I LOVE IT
Bro playing trombone in this piece was actually so amazing
We're thinking about playing this in our Christmas parade!
I heard this song at my schools winter concert and it was cool enough for me to try to find lol
Chamber for my school in orchestra played this song I loved it so much!! I’m in symphonic and wanna learn this so badly
As the only tenor sax player in my band I have parts that no one has and it feels great when u play it in concert I love this song
I play tenor sax too! I. Have those parts with euphonium! So much fun !
As a bassoonist this has got to be my favorite Christmas piece that my band teacher has handed out so far, I love my part in the song especially since I'm usually the baseline for songs. I can't wait for this Christmas concert.
I played this for my October concert, I’m percussion, and i played this as a marimba ❤
I love to play this song in band. I’m the only kid doing mallets and it’s so satisfying to do the little one measure solos
This peace is mwahvi play it every day to feel the aliveness
We just not got this piece and playing it on December 6th is our concert btw yes I'm a band student at tms 7th
