In some
European Christmas
traditions, Saint Nick
(Santa Claus) does not
work alone. He travels
with the Krampus, a
Christmas Devil who doles
out punishment to bad
boys and girls on
Christmas Eve. This work
serves as a darkly
delightful Christmas
piece, intended to
educate, entertain, and
creep out your audience.
The poem Beware the
Krampus (written by the
composer) helps frame the
piece as familiar carols
The Ukranian Bell Carol,
Up on the Housetop, Jolly
Old St. Nicholas, and
other holiday favorites
are distorted. (4:50)
