Now our final piece for the musical portion of this event

is going to be Sleigh Ride.

We do have some announcements afterwards.

We want to make and talk about these silent auction.

Leroy Anderson was an American composer of short light concert

pieces many of which were introduced during the 1950's by

the Boston Pops under Arthur Fiedler Sleigh Ride is probably

his most famous piece.

It was not written as a Christmas piece, but as a as a depiction

of a winter event, Anderson started the work during a heat

wave in August 1946.

The Boston Pops recorded recording of sleigh ride was the

first pure orchestral piece to reach number one on the billboard

pop music chart.

Orchestral effects if you listen carefully, you'll hear them.

Well control effects featured in the piece include the clip

clop sounds of the horses hooves a horse.

Whinny and the crack of a whip the Cupertino symphonic band

now closes its 2014 holiday concert with Sleigh Ride by Lucroy

Anderson. Thank you for your continued support.
