| Description: This classic holiday favorite by Al Stillman and Robert Allen is presented here is a playable arrangement for strings. The piece is presented first in a lush chorale format with the use of extended jazz harmonies. Special care should be given to balancing and tuning the inner voices for the most pleasant sound. After the lush opening on the famous refrain the arrangement moves to the bridge in an up-tempo swing. Following the bridge is another statement of the refrain followed by a 'hymn-style' section with jazz iinterjections straight out of the famous Perry Como rendition. This is followed by a Dal Segno to the bridge, one more refrein and then a short coda. |
