More about this title

About the Composer: Paul Williams

Paul Williams is a two-time Academy Award winning composer whose gift for melody has shaped the soundtrack of American popular culture since the 1970s. His work across film, television, and musical theater demonstrates a rare ability to craft songs that are both emotionally resonant and immediately singable, qualities that have made his compositions enduring favorites in choral settings.

Why we love this

Audrey Snyder's arrangement captures the warmth and gentle humor of the original without losing the song's emotional core. The 3-part mixed voicing is genuinely singable for developing ensembles, and the 14-page score gives you enough musical substance to justify rehearsal time while staying accessible for holiday programming.

What to expect

Warm, nostalgic, and genuinely touching. The music has a gentle magic to it, the kind that makes you believe Christmas is something worth feeling sentimental about. There's nothing overwrought here; instead, the arrangement lets Paul Williams' melody do what it does best, which is make people feel something true.

Who it's for

This arrangement works for mixed choirs of intermediate ability and above. It's equally at home in a community choir looking for accessible holiday material or a school choir wanting something with genuine musical substance beyond seasonal filler.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melodic line between soprano and alto parts; neither should dominate, and the melody should feel like it's being shared rather than carried by a single voice.
  • Approach the harmonic rhythm with attention to how Snyder's voicing creates gentle movement. Avoid letting sustained chords feel static by maintaining musical line even in longer note values.
  • Let the text breathe during the verses. The nostalgia in this piece comes from restraint, not from pushing for volume or intensity too early.

How to use it

This piece works beautifully in a winter concert as a contrasting moment between more energetic seasonal pieces, or as the emotional anchor of a holiday program built around film and television music. It's also substantial enough to stand as the closer on a concert, giving audiences something heartfelt to carry home with them.

Skills your students will build

  • Blending three-part harmony with attention to inner voice independence
  • Shaping phrases with emotional intent rather than technical mechanics
  • Sustaining vocal line clarity across longer harmonic progressions
