“Never Mind the Reindeer”

“Never Mind the Reindeer” Traditional Carols, Songs and Music for Winter, Christmas and New Year Transcribed by George Hinchliffe of The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

“Never Mind the Reindeer” was an all instrumental CD released by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in 1996

In 2020 the Orchestra is releasing this song book of transcriptions for ukulele of the pieces from the original album, with the addition of some extra music. These arrangements for ukulele are copyright but they are being given free in December 2020.

In this winter of Covid, amid restrictions and economic difﬁculties all over the world, when so many people are feeling the economic pinch, the Orchestra is offering this music as a Christmas present to the world.

If anyone who ﬁnds this music useful is solvent or still working they can of course make a donation via the donation page at UkuleleOrchestra.com. The Orchestra in common with many freelance performers, workers and musicians has had no live work since February 2020. Any donations would be much appreciated but if you are under pressure do feel free to take this as a gift.

Most of these pieces are given here with English words, the melody in musical notation, the melody in ukulele tablature for GCEA tuned Ukulele, the chord names and the chord window diagrams for GCEA tuned ukulele.

Some of the pieces have latin words or are “macaronic”, such as In Dulci Jubilo, partly in English and partly in latin.

There are English words for Angelus ad Virginem, but the time honoured latin words, quoted in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, are given here.

Von Himmel Hoch has words, most famously in German, but is given here as an instrumental piece for three ukuleles. The parts correspond to the original Never Mind The Reindeer recording.

Some of these compositions have well known authors and writers. Some of them are well known but the identities of the authors have been lost or are in doubt.

The Spirit of Christmas is written by Peter Stork, who spent most of his career designing formula one racing cars, but now writes music and lyrics, and has an interest in popular music and in goodwill to all. The melody has been harmonised by George Hinchliffe.

Sometimes the spirit of Christmas gets lost amid the commercialism and the conﬂicts in the world. Many of these pieces of music are broadly, in origin and use, from the christian traditions of Britain, of England and elsewhere but they have also been sung for generations by people from other religions or no religion, as good tunes, as seasonal songs and as messages of brotherhood, peace and fellowship for all of humanity.

In an ever-changing world, tradition can remind us not of merely old fashioned notions and histories of inhumanity, but of good wishes for all, of reconciliation and global solidarity and of love. There is a great deal of good amid the thoughts of holly, christmas trees, the celebrations, the presents, and the cliches of snowmen, Santa Claus and all the chimneys, and reindeers pulling the sleigh.

“Never Mind the Reindeer” was an all instrumental CD released by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in 1996

The original sleeve notes for the CD and Cassette album were as follows:

With "Never Mind the Reindeer" The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain gives its own versions of some of the best loved Christmas carols. All these pieces are plucked, there is no singing or other instrumental involvement, just the pure sound of the ukulele. This makes the recording perfect for christmas morning listening, as background music while opening presents, or indeed for listening at any other time. Never mind the reindeer, we say obscurely, but some of us would miss the reindeer of course, and Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas of Cappadocia, would be lost without them to pull his sleigh, loaded up with presents.

Some carols, though often sung at Christmas have other associations: with the spring, with dance, with folk music, with processions, with lullabies or with pre christian traditions. As you dip in and listen to this stocking full of tunes, sing along if you know them, or remark on just how close Geoffrey Chaucer can be to Hank Williams. The Uke Orch play these carols with vim and vigour, sometimes sounding just a little bit like they're having a hootenanny, and sometimes with a sense of the traditions of mediaeval music. Let's not forget that the mediaeval and renaissance relatives of the guitar such as the citole, the cittern and the chitarrino, were ukuleles in all but name. Let's remember too that for hundreds of years, the consort of plucked instruments has had a well documented history. What Cheer!

Notes on the music

The ﬁrst carols were not christmas tunes, but spring dances. "Good King Wenceslas" is a good example, originally played fast, with the words: Tempus Adest Floridum (the time of ﬂowers is here). We usually hear this tune sung slowly with 19th century harmonies and with words about Wenceslas, his page, and the snow which is deep and crisp and even. The Ukes give us a hotted up version, still in 19th century harmony rather than the original monophony, but more in the spirit of the original spring dance. "Ding Dong Merrily on High", was, like the Wenceslas piece, a branle (in English, literally, a "brawl"). The tune is from Arbeau's Orchesographie of 1588 and the dance itself appears to be an early version of the "pogo", two heavy beats with the feet together and a high jump.

Some of these carols have a rural European origin. The Rocking Carol is a Czech traditional lullaby (Hajej Nynej), and Silent Night was written in 1818, famously for guitar and voices in an Austrian village in which, at the time, the organ was being repaired.

Many carols have very old, traditional tunes. The tune of "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen" is thought to have been used by the London Waits. Other traditional tunes are We Three Kings, I Saw Three Ships, Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and A Virgin Most Pure, which was ﬁrst printed in 1834. Tomorrow shall be my Dancing Day is found in several broadside ballad collections.

The Wassail Song is an old Yorkshire carol, (Wassail comes from the toast "wes hal" in old english). Wassailing could be thought of as an early version of the trick or treat phenomenon. A favourite old carol with a pagan theme is The Holly and the Ivy, a folk carol collected by Cecil Sharp in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. On Christmas Night the Angels Sing is also a folk carol, collected by Vaughan Williams at Monks Gate in Sussex.

Some carols were of course written for church use. Away in a Manger is a 19th century American Classic by WJ Kirkpatrick. Angels from the Realms of Glory was written by James Montgomery of the Moravian Brotherhood, who died in Sheffield, England in 1854. How Brightly Beams the Morning Star is a chorale, well known because of Bach's harmonisation. Quem Pastores Laudavere (rendered in English as "He whom shepherds apprehended"), is a 14th century German latin carol. The tune of Unto us is Born a Son has been known in Germany since the 15th century. This ukulele version gets very merry indeed. Benedicamus Domino! Von Himmel hoch, da komm' ich her (by Friedrich Wilhelm Zachau) is a christmas organ piece. O Come all ye Faithful, (Adeste Fideles) is attributed to JF Wade and first printed in 1782. It Came Upon the Midnight Clear is a traditional tune arranged by Sir Arthur Sullivan (half of Gilbert and Sullivan). Once in Royal David's City was written in the mid 1800s by John Gauntlett, organist and lawyer. While Shepherds Watched, is also known as Winchester Old. It first appeared in 1696. The Coventry Carol is from the city's Pageant of Shearmen and Tailors in the 15th century. Angelus Ad Virginem is a 14th century Advent hymn, mentioned in Chaucer's Miller's tale, in which the Clerk of Oxenford plays the tune on the psaltry. Whether we use psaltry or ukulele, plucked strings are clearly very suitable for this lively and joyful tune. Blessed be that maid Marie is also from the 14th century, as is In Dulce Jubilo, a macaronic carol (that is, with words in two languages). Jingle Bells is a secular song, associated with winter, but not often heard with this kind of honky tonk ukulele treatment. The music on this album, while of interest to ukulele enthusiasts, contains many interesting nuances and is suitable for all kinds of circumstances and listening environments, from crypt to playpen, from crib to feast, from fireside to maypole. Thanks for listening, and to you, best wishes, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, every year, whatever your beliefs.

When the album was re-released in the early 2000’s this was the Orchestra’s publicity listing.

“Never Mind The Reindeer”. The long awaited, often requested, reissue of the 1996 favourite classic christmas album of seasonal music from The Ukulele Orchestra is now available. A bumper stocking-filler. These are the definitive old carols, in instrumental form, orchestrated for ukuleles, with no singing. Some well known, some well loved and even some hackneyed carols, redeemed by the infectious musicality, good humour and joy of “the ukes”. Regarding the title of this album: Was “Nevermind” the name of one of Santa’s reindeer, or the title of an album by the Sex Pistols, or Nirvana? Christmas can be seen as a celebration involving a recognition of the birth of a world religion, while also containing the history of pagan rituals, and involving the struggle between the conflicting philosophies of giving and selling. Is there conflict between the mutuality of present sharing and the capitalist expressions of mammon? Let us aim to see, beyond the trappings, and costumes, what is there in the traditions, which shows us the truth. Can the humble instruments on this recording, with their vernacular twanging and scratching, yet transport us to the realms of glory? Yes, we say! Merry Christmas one and all. Buy copies of this CD for all your family and friends. They, like many who heard it in the last century, when these recordings originally appeared, will treasure this recording as a timeless artefact, a relic of the old

The Orchestra’s newsletter had this to say at that time:

“Never Mind The Reindeer”. A new album for Christmas. Some people have said that there was a golden age of the Ukulele Orchestra in the 1990s, when the concept was new, strange and intriguing. Many old established fans have requested reissues of old ‘Ukes’ albums, this one often being top of the list. And here it is. It consists of “all instrumental” orchestrations of charming and tuneful Christmas carols featuring plucked ukuleles and absolutely nothing else. There is a purity, an honest, an old world ambiance of goodwill, and a classic seasonal integrity to these recordings, which makes it perfect for listening to while the ﬁggy pudding is absorbing the brandy, or on any occasion when Christmas cheer is required.

Other publicity material took this form:

The long awaited reissue of the 1996 classic christmas album of seasonal music from The Ukulele Orchestra is now available. A bumper stocking-ﬁller.

This is a "Christmas-morning" stocking-full of favourite old carols, in instrumental form, orchestrated for the orchestra of ukuleles, which brings out all the jollity, fun, humour and catchy melodies of the well known, the well loved and even some hackneyed carols, now redeemed by the infectious musicality of the ukes.

Over Christmastide many people like to listen to their favourite carols. If they're with the family, preparing Christmas dinner, or opening presents, they don’t want to hear singing, simply the wonderful evocative melodies of traditional seasonal music.

It’s not about the corny hype, the reruns of old ﬁlms, the bickering over the broken presents and what’s on TV.

It is about the traditions of a Christmas before facebook and emails, bringing a sense of a different time, older customs, the wassail, carolling, dashing through the snow, a belief in Santa Claus, a distant folk-memory of the gory hunter descending into the iron-age hut through the smoke-hole, while laden with his booty and benison.

The Nation’s favourite ukulele orchestra here gives you the deﬁnitive carols, arranged for the orchestra of ukuleles, with all the interweaving instrumental parts in their blend of homophonic and polyphonic movements, the admixture of disciplined harmony and improvisational tune and counter-melody, the expression of joy through purely instrumental music. Perhaps these tracks capture and deﬁne a model for human understanding, compassion, reconciliation and acceptance, in the sense that each instrument goes its own way, and yet the whole reveals a harmonious blend, and represents a group of individualists working together to communicate solidarity, friendship, and a coming together.

Take a cup of mead perhaps as we share the joys of Winter. Put some holly on your steaming figgy pudding, and join with the ukes, thinking of several incarnations of Tiny Tim with the old fashioned yet benign wish and toast: God Bless Us, Every One. Christmas is a celebration involving a recognition of the birth of a world religion, while also containing the history of pagan rituals, and involving the struggle between the conflicting philosophies of giving and selling. Is there conflict between the mutuality of present sharing and the capitalist expressions of mammon?

Perhaps in the straight-forward juxtaposition of British tradition with a hint of the punk aesthetic gently referred to in the album title, and the vision of a mythic golden age where Christmas cheer was universal, the orchestra allows us to glimpse a spirit of conﬂict resolution, and a way in which the imperfections of humanity, depicted through the slight, yet sturdy vernacular of the ukulele, (the instrument the size of a cuddly toy, yet fully chromatic and expressive), do not constitute limitations and a source of annoyance, but an opportunity to see frail humanity in its multifaceted, sometimes confused, sometimes adversarial fashion, but an expression of goodwill, a collective glory, a joyful happy momentum which in its eschewing of gloom and harshness, failure and misery, reminds us of life, peace, satisfaction, an afﬁrmation of the worthwhile and the benign striving which binds us all together.

In this vision we can see a spirit, a belief, a wish, a celebration, a unification, the bright expectant faces of youth in the firelight, the wise amused eyes of the elders, remembering toil, yet affirming the achievements of the past twelvemonth, and indeed the onward flowing river of human life, with the eddies and flows so effectively symbolised by the instrumental prowess, the tuneful simplicity of the Ukulele Orchestra.

Regarding the title of this album: Was “Nevermind” the name of a Father Christmas reindeer, or the title of an album by the Sex Pistols, or does it constitute a reference to the fact that the essence, the true ﬂavour, the inner core of things, can only be glimpsed in passing, never named? Of course, Santa Claus is not the whole story of the tradition, and his reindeer, though strong and handsome, are merely the power source for his mode of transport, and yet behind it all, there is something, something real and true which perhaps is hard to see, hard to name, something perhaps which doesn’t wish to be easily named. Let us aim to see, beyond the trappings, the traces, the harnesses and costumes, what is there in the traditions, with all their wrong turnings and inward habits, which shows us the truth, the light and dark, the oneness and the multiplicity?

Can the humble instruments on this recording, with their vernacular twanging and scratching, yet transport us to the realms of glory? Yes, we say! The one thing that the three wise men were not recorded as bringing to the manger was a ukulele. Did the cold hard truth reﬂected across the heavens from the white hot star, yet illuminate an ensemble of ukuleles, with orchestrations of the music of the future? Some might say that it would not have been out of keeping with the meaning and the impetus of the many-layered story if it had been so!

Merry Christmas one and all. Buy copies of this CD for all your family and friends. They, like many in the last century, when this reissue originally appeared, will treasure this recording as a timeless artefact, a relic of the old and good, and a talisman of jollity, happiness and tradition in a tumultuous world.
