Happy holidays and welcome to the next new episode of the podcast! In closing out this year, the first full year of creating this podcast, I decided to present a holiday-themed installment, focusing on music from classic theatrical and TV movies about Christmas, or those tangentially connected. While of course this will represent only a small sampling of the many films found in this genre, my selections here span the years from 1938 up until the current century and include such popular titles as A CHRISTMAS CAROL (two versions, in fact!), MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, SCROOGED, HOME ALONE and ELF. Music composed for these movies originate from such notable talents as Franz Waxman, Henry Mancini, Danny Elfman and John Williams. I find that these wonderful scores can really be enjoyed both during the holiday season and throughout the year.
I hope that everyone who listens will enjoy the episode, whether it's your first or you're a long time listener. As usual, forgive me any technical and factual gaffes.
