Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer started not as a song but as a story: department store Montgomery Ward gave away Robert L. May's booklet about the little reindeer in 1939. A decade later, in 1949, May's brother-in-law, songwriter Johnny Marks, turned the tale into music, and Gene Autry's recording became a runaway hit that has topped Christmas charts ever since.

Our Love to Sing choir brings out all the fun of the story, so everyone can cheer Rudolph on and sing every line. It's a much-loved pick for nativity plays, classroom music lessons, school concerts and singing along at home.
