Jingle Bells is a song by the American James Lord Pierpont, published in Boston in 1857 under the title One Horse Open Sleigh. Its original verses describe sleigh races in the snow without a single word about Christmas; it was the holiday season that gradually claimed it, until it became one of the best-known tunes in the world. In France, Francis Blanche wrote brand-new lyrics for it in 1948 under the title Vive le vent, now a classic of its own that children learn at school. Its lively melody, with a refrain of repeated notes that glides along like a sleigh, is played with gusto on the accordion. The piece children ask for as soon as the accordion comes out of its case.
