Silver Bells

Description

SAB

Mark Hayes has imagined a delightfully new arrangement for this holiday classic. In a bright shuffle feel, the song has bounce and syncopated rhythms not usually heard. The piece is just perfect for all ages and has a fantastic orchestral track available as well as instrumentation.

“Silver Bells” is a popular Christmas song composed by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans and sung in the generally known version by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in the motion picture The Lemon Drop Kid. The first recorded version was sung by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards on September 8, 1950, with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra and the Lee Gordon Singers. The recording was released by Decca Records in October 1950. After the Crosby/Richards recording became popular, Hope and Maxwell were called back in late 1950 to reshoot a more elaborate production of the song.
