Selections from The Nutcracker were first performed as an orchestral suite in March 1892. The ballet proper debuted in December of that year. It was presented at St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre on a double bill with Tchaikovsky’s one-act opera, Iolanta. In a letter to a friend, Tchaikovsky himself remarked, “Apparently the opera gave pleasure, but the ballet not really; and, as a matter of fact, in spite of all the sumptuousness it did turn out to be rather boring.”.

Found it!! The music to which we're referring is actually FredWaring (not Ellington) and the arrangements are by Harry Simone.The release date is either 1947 or 1950, and CDs appear to beavailable on the web. Vintage vinyls are also available on eBay.And my memory for the lyrics wasn't terrific, either! HappyListening!
Thanks to a blog by Dr. Drake, where you can find pictures ofthe front and back of the Fred Waring album--the back has thelyrics. Here they are:
Overture
Come ring the curtain up, the drama is beginning!
Watch as the spotlight shows a merry bit of make believe.
First come the sugar plums, those dainty little dancers,
Pirouetting on their toes, they make a charming arabesque.
Then a Russian ballet in a Trepak dancing,
So entrancing, prancing on.
Then a tiny company of shining toy flutes
Shrilling, trilling, dancing on.
Flowers all together in a grand finale end the balletmerrily,
And now the band begins to play delightful music bright andgay,
Fiddles bowing!
Pipers blowing!
Up goes the curtain, now the drama is beginning
Watch as the spot light shows a merry bit of make believe.
Dance of the Sugar Plums
Here they dance, the sparkling sugar plums,
Gracefully pointing their tiny little feet.
Here they dance so brightly, in a ring,
Shimmering, glimmering, dainty and petite.
One by one they glide and pirouette,
Minuet, silhouette, to the tinkling beat.
In the twilight, in the moonlight, in the starlight
They dance.
Here in the glow of the moonlight
They dance to the tune of the beautiful silvery flute,
Here in the glow of the moonlight
They dance to the tune of the beautiful silvery flute,
They dance,
They dance to fairy music sparkling light,
They tread the moon beams of the night.
Trepak
Hark to the sound of the balalaika,
Hark to the shouts of the merry crowds
Who dance and sing 'til the rafters ring,
And click their feet to the pounding beat.
'Round and around see the maidens whirling,
'Round and around in a mighty swirling..
Flashing eyes and merry cries
For hearts are light this festive night.
Swing to the balalaikas playing,
Swing to the tambourines, they're saying,
'Ev'rybody, ev'rybody, join us in the dance tonight.'
And if you happen to discover
Somebody dancing with your lover,
Have another vodka, have another vodka,
Vodka always makes things bright.
All to the trepak dancing, all to the trepak dancing,
On and on until the dawn
They sing and play the night away.
All to the trepak dancing, all to the trepak dancing,
On and on the night is gone
They dance and play until the day.
Hark to the sound of the balalaika,
Hark to the shouts of the merry crowds
Who dance and sing 'til the rafters ring,
And click their feet to the pounding beat.
'Round and around see the maidens whirling,
'Round and around in a mighty swirling..
High-yah! High-yah! High-yah! Ho!
Dance of the Toy Flutes
Tootie little flutes so cute and shrill,
Toe to toe they toddle to the square dance.
Here's a little boy flute,
There's a pretty coy flute,
Ev'ryone's a toy but all are filled with joy.
Listen to the flutes that toot and trill,
They just play away and wouldn't dare dance.
Lazy and legato, crazy and staccato,
For the dance they play.
Flirty little flutes in flounce and frill
See their high-falutin' tootin' pair dance.
Watch the shiny tin flute waltzin' with the thin flute,
Listen to the din when they go in a spin.
Hear them all salute that flute quadrille,
More exciting than a county fair dance.
Now a big glissando, then accelerando,
Toot! Scoot!
To the flutes they dance.
Waltz of the Flowers
Hark to the woodland call.
Come to the Waltz of the Flowers.
Ev'ry little flower on the hill;
Ev'ry little yellow daffodil
Hurries to the wonderful waltz of the flowers.
Here by the garden wall
Roses will waltz with magnolias,
Violets and morning glories fair,
Mignonettes and orchids will be there.
All the world of flow'rs join in this wonderful waltz.
And ev'ryone is singing, swinging, dancing,
Whirling, swirling, prancing,
Bending, blending, glancing
Side by side, to the melody they glide.
Lilies lilting, tulips tilting,
And forget-me-nots remembering.
Poppies playing, dahlias swaying,
And gardenias are saying
'Dance, flowers, dance!
Dance while the music brings romance.'
The melody flows, the harmony grows,
Designing a magic spell to the rhythmic beat.
Dance, flow'rs, dance!
As delicate perfume fills the air,
(Enchanted with)
Love is calling you, love enthralling you,
Love had come from the flowers.
Lilies lilting, tulips tilting,
And forget-me-nots remembering.
Poppies playing, dahlias swaying,
As the trees above are rustling in rhythm.
While ev'ryone is singing, swinging, dancing,
Whirling, swirling, prancing,
Bending, blending, glancing
Side by side they glide.
As they hark to the woodland call.
Come to the waltz of the flowers!
Here by the garden wall,
Join in these magical hours.
Blooms in all their splendor,
Bending in surrender,
Then the symphony with majesty
Soars higher in triumph,
With petals flashing,
Color splashing,
Swirling, unfurling,
And caught in the whirl
Of this wonderful waltz of the flow'rs.
I have a set of 45's from the 1950's with lyrics set to the'Nutcracker Suite' pieces. Offhand I can remember these: TheOverture begins 'Come, ring the curtain up, the (drama?) isbeginning.' The Flutes begins 'Tootie little flutes in flounce andfrill, see the high-falutin' tootin' flutes dance; there's thelittle tin flute, dancing with a thin flute, listen to the din whenthey go in a spin.' Waltz of the Flowers begins 'Here by the gardenwall, (come to the?) waltz of the flowers.' Russian Dance begins'Hark to the sound of the balaleikas.' When I get back to Wisconsinin about a week I'll search my attic to see if anything is stillplayable. This has been driving me crazy ever since we took myfour-year-old granddaughter to see her first (legit) Nutcrackerlast Sunday--actually, for some time before. I've always creditedthe arrangement to Duke Ellington, and in my head it sounds like itcould be his, but I can find nothing online about an EllingtonNutcracker earlier than the one he did with Strayhorn in 1960, andthat is definitely not the one we're thinking of. Can anyone helpwith any other information? Any info will be appreciated.
The below answer is not true. There are words to each song. Theywere created for the 'play' version of The Nutcracker Suite. I knowthis because we did the play at my elementary school when I was a5th grader. When I have more time I can add lyrics to the Waltz ofthe Flowers, the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, and the RussianTea Cake song, but my baby is crying right now.
there's no words just music
there's no words just music
There are words. My college choir did them for ChristmasConcerts but I can't remember them. Does anyone out there know thewords?
**********************************************
Well, I sang it in High School in St. Louis Park, MN around 1967and we had to memorize the words but, alas, my memory is fading.Here is a website that has a few words:
http://www.rammsteinuk.com/327839
They are mostly as I remember them except for: '..Every littleYELLOW daffodil..'
It was a long time ago..
Here is a link to the original arrangement on CD for $9.98 byFred Waring and the Pennsylvanians:
http://www.singers.com/4576c/Fred-Waring-and-his-Pennsylvanians/Nutcracker-Suite/
'..Conceived by arranger Harry Simeone he combines the charminglyrics written by Jay Johnson, Frank Cunkle, Daisy Bernier and FredWaring..'
I'm going to order the CD - my wife teaches ballet and she heardme singing along once and now wants to use it in her Christmasdance recital.
Cheers!
**************************************************
Hello, I did the Nutcracker for my chorus (I'm in 6th grade),and I know the flower words, here they are. It's not all the songs,and it's not the full song. We did the shortened version whichpractically cuts the song in half, but anyway, here they are!
March Of The Toy Soldiers
Midnight in the house, the church bells chime.
Midnight in the house, a magic time!
Listen, you will hear tiny feet draw near.
The mouse-keteers come into view!
Midnight in the house, the church bells chime.
Midnight in the house, a magic time!
Soldiers fast asleep awaken with a leap!
Oh here they come a marching two by two!
Forward march and never fear!
Oh, forward march, the foe draws near!
Midnight in the house, 'To arms!' they cry!
Midnight in the house, 'We'll do or die!'
Mice and soldiers come to the beating
of the drum,a raging pandemonium!
Midnight in the house, 'To arms!' they cry!
Midnight in the house, 'We'll do or die!'
The battle sound is all around!
Alas! A cheer from a tiny mouse-keteer!
Forward march! Don't count the cost!'
Oh! 'Forward march! All is not lost!'
Oh! Midnight in the house, the battle's won!
When the mouse King fails we see
the surest sign of victory!
Midnight in the house, the siege is done!
Midnight in the house, the battle's won!
Off to sleep they go in the afterglow!
Tiny toys beneath the Christmas tree.
