The song "Toyland" has been around since 1903. It was written by Victor Herbert (music) and Glen MacDonough (lyrics) as part of their operetta, Babes In Toyland.

Our arrangement has three vocal parts, but as usual, parts 2 and 3 are optional. To demonstrate how this would sound, we have included a unison version. If your singers are up to the challenge, we have isolated parts 2 and 3 included them with the kit to help them learn the song. And if you do use all three parts, it might be fun to try singing it a cappella. We've also included a demo of this.

Musically, this piece is very lush. The recorded accompaniment features piano, nylon guitar, fretless bass, harp, strings, and winds consisting of flugelhorns, horns, trombones, and bass trombones. And for that extra sparkle, we've also included wind chimes, a bell tree, suspended cymbal, and a combination of a toy piano and a glockenspiel. While we do provide a lovely, playable piano part, singing with the recorded accompaniment will really add to your performance and make it quite special. (from Music K-8, Vol. 35, No. 2)
