Written in 1962 during the Cuban Missile crisis, this modern mega-hit is a "plea for peace" and an affectionate portrait of the spirit of Christmas. The arranger brings a sense of cinematic scope and theatrical flair to this fully orchestrated version. The choral writing is surprisingly approachable, yet the sonic impact is significant and fulfilling. A lasting effect is achieved with brilliant pacing and a daring crescendo.
