A Song for St Nicholas
This composition is from a very weird music book called St Nicholas Songs by Waldo Selden Pratt (1885). 1885 was also the year in which the composer of this score died. His name was Leopold Damrosch, and he was a famous conductor and composer. The rest of the songs are of the putridly sentimental variety. The kind of things that turned grownups on but made kids gag, no doubt.
What any of this has to do with St Nicholas is anybody's guess.
