Uh, the original version of this one was written in 1945 by Robert Wells and Mel Tormet. First recorded in 1946 by the Nat King Cole trio. The song was written in July of 1945 during an exceptionally hot summer. It was in an effort to stay cool by thinking cool. Uh, and with that, the most performed Christmas song of all time was born. We're excited to feature our lead trumpet, Abby Gut Connect, on this Christmas

Um it's really great to work uh with all of them and play just a lot of awesome music together. Um, that being said, uh, we are four years into our tradition, uh, in this ensemble of closing our portion of this concert with a Charlie Brown Christmas. Uh, with an original soundtrack by the Vince Galdi Trio, this program premiered on CBS on December 9th, 1965. Uh, and the show creators were worried that people weren't going to like it and people weren't going to watch it. Um,
009but TV was a really, really big thing back then. Not that it isn't now, but uh they were welcomed at the premiere uh by about 45% of people uh in the United States who were watching television ended up watching that show, which amounts to about 15 million homes. Uh and I know many of you, I'm sure, probably watch Charlie Brown Christmas every year. Um this Paul Murtha arrangement will feature the tunes Lionus and Lucy, Otan Bomb, Skating, and Christmas Time is here. We'll feature Luly Mercier on piano, Owen Hemling on trombone, and Miles Weedenhe on alto saxophone. Uh there'll be a brief intermission uh maybe like no more than 5 minutes in between this ensemble and orchestra as we reset the stage. Enjoy a Charlie Brown Christmas and happy holidays to you all.
