Arr. by Clark Gassman ©1973Lexicon Music, ASCAP)©1979 Aluminum Company of America / All rights reserved. / Printed in USAThe tale of Ebenezer Scrooge is asmuch a part of the Christmas spirit ascarolers and holly and lights on atree And it was thisspirit that Alcoa®wished to share whenit first presented“The Stingiest Manin Town" on the “AlcoaHour" in 1956. With BasilRathbone in his singingdebut as Scrooge, and asupporting cast that in-cluded Vic Damone, JohnnyDesmond, The Four Ladsand Patrice Munsel, theshow became a landmark—the firstmusical adaptation of Charles Dick-ens’ A Christmas Carol, and one ofthe first live color telecasts of televi-sion history.“The Stingiest Man in Town" mighthave remained a piece of history. Butin 1975, a cast album featuring theoriginal music and a special narrationby John Carradine was presented byAlcoa as a Christmas radio special inselected markets across the country.Fred Spielman’s music and JaniceTorre's lyrics had proved to be almostas timeless as the Dickens story itself.So it was their original music that wascalled on again when Alcoa decidedto produce an all-new, animated “Stin-giest Man in Town’’ for NBC in 1978.With the voice of Walter Matthau asScrooge, plus the voices of TomBosley, Robert Morse, TheodoreBikel, Dennis Day and others, andlively new animation by Rankin/Bass,Alcoa once again brought TVaudiences this heart-warming story ofa man who finds a new way of life atChristmas.As “The Stingiest Man in Town”has become a Christmas traditionamong many Alcoans, so have theThe Alcoa Singers. Since 1961, thisvolunteer group has performed holi-day concerts for fellow employees,first as the Alcoa Men's Chorus, thenas the Alcoa Mixed Chorus, until it be-came The Alcoa Singers in 1974.While The Alcoa Singers’ primary pur-pose is to entertain fellow Alcoans atvarious company locations, they havealso appeared at churches, charitytelethons and community functions.Eleanor Glocknerhas directed TheAlcoa Singerssince 1975. Agraduate of St.Mary’s College,Notre Dame,she has sungprofessionallyin opera, light opera, summer stockand dinner theatre in Milwaukee, Indi-anapolis and Pittsburgh, and also hasdirected and performed in communitytheatre. The “Stingiest Man in Town"Eleanor Glocknerselections performed here by TheAlcoa Singers were arranged for fullchorus by Mrs. Glockner. She also ar-ranged the special version of “Go TellIt On The Mountain” performed by thechorus as the final Christmas mes-sage for Alcoa’s telecast of “The Stin-giest Man in Town.”AccompanistMerle Sharff hasworked with TheAlcoa Singers forthe past six years.Mr. Sharff waspianist and chorusmaster with thePittsburgh Opera for 31 years; currently,he teaches voice and is organist,pianist and choir director for severalchurches.
