More about this title

About the Composer: Felix Bernard

Felix Bernard composed "Winter Wonderland" in 1934, creating one of the most enduring holiday standards in American popular music. His gift for melody defined the sound of early twentieth-century seasonal repertoire, and this piece remains a staple across vocal and instrumental ensembles nearly a century later.

Why we love this

Ed Lojeski's 2-part setting captures the nostalgic warmth of the original without demanding complex harmony or voicing. The arrangement respects what makes this melody unforgettable while staying accessible for mixed-ability choirs, making it a practical choice for holiday programs that need immediate musical payoff.

What to expect

Crisp, bright, and genuinely festive. The melody lands naturally in the voice and the harmonic support is gentle enough to let the text shine through without fighting the singers' attention.

Who it's for

Directors programming holiday concerts who need reliable, singable material that audiences immediately recognize and enjoy. Choirs ranging from middle school through community level will find the 2-part voicing accessible without feeling juvenile.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody between your two parts so neither overshadows the other; this arrangement thrives when both lines feel equally important rather than one serving as pure accompaniment.
  • Let the text painting guide your phrasing, especially around words evoking winter imagery; small dynamic shape will keep familiar melody from feeling static.
  • Consider the recorded accompaniment as a rehearsal tool first, then gradually reduce reliance on it so your choir owns the harmonic foundation.

How to use it

Place this early in a holiday set to establish warmth and familiarity with your audience, or use it as a palate-cleanser between more substantial choral works. It pairs well alongside other secular holiday pops and works equally as an opener or closer depending on your concert arc.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing pure vowels within a simple harmonic framework
  • Balancing two independent melodic lines with equal voice
  • Maintaining phrase shape in a melody that invites oversinging
