Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Background [ ] By the early 1960s, Charles M. Schulz's comic strip Peanuts had become a sensation worldwide. Television producer acknowledged the strip's cultural impression and produced a documentary on the subject, titled. Mendelson, a fan of jazz, heard a song by Vince Guaraldi on the radio not long after completion of his documentary, and contacted the musician to produce music for the special.
Guaraldi composed the music for the project, creating an entire piece, 'Linus and Lucy', to serve as the theme. Despite the popularity of the strip and acclaim from advertisers, networks were not interested in the special.
By April 1965, Time featured the Peanuts gang on its magazine cover, and plans for an animated half-hour Peanuts Christmas special were commissioned by The Coca-Cola Company. When Coca-Cola commissioned A Charlie Brown Christmas in spring 1965, Guaraldi returned to write the music. Recording and production [ ] The first instrumentals for the special were recorded by Guaraldi at, 's Whitney Studio with bassist and drummer. Recycling 'Linus and Lucy' from the earlier special, Guaraldi completed two new originals for the special, 'Skating', and 'Christmas Time Is Here'. In the weeks preceding the premiere, Mendelson encountered trouble finding a lyricist for Guaraldi's instrumental intro, and penned 'Christmas Time Is Here' in 'about 15 minutes' on the backside of an envelope. The special opens and closes with a choir of children, culled from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in, performing 'Christmas Time Is Here' and 'Hark!
The Herald Angels Sing'. One of the singers, Candace Hackett Shively, went on to become an elementary school teacher, and sent a letter of gratitude to Schulz after announcing his retirement in 2000. In the letter, she recalls recording the choir at Fantasy Studios and going out for ice cream afterwards, while also noting that she tells the story to her grade-schoolers each holiday season. The recording sessions were conducted in late autumn 1965, and were cut in three separate sessions over two weeks. They often ran late into the night, resulting in angry parents, some who forbade their children from returning; as a result, numerous new children were present at each session. The children were directed by Barry Mineah, who demanded perfection from the choir.
Mendelson and Guaraldi disagreed, desiring the 'kids to sound like kids'; they used a slightly off-key version of 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' in the final cut. Children were paid five dollars for their participation. In addition, the children recorded dialogue for the special's final scene, in which the crowd of kids shout 'Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!' The soundtrack for the special was recorded during these sessions, with decisions regarding timing and phrasing determined quickly. Guaraldi brought in bassist Fred Marshall and drummer Jerry Granelli to record the music, and spent time later re-recording earlier tracks, including covers of 'The Christmas Song' and 'Greensleeves'.
The eventual LP release credited Guaraldi solely, neglecting to mention the other musicians; Guaraldi was notorious for never keeping records of his session players. Nearly three decades later, in an effort to correct the matter, Fantasy surmised that the recordings with Budwig and Bailey were employed in the special, while Marshall and Granelli recorded the album. Despite this, other individuals have come forward claiming to have recorded the special's music: bassists Eugene Firth and Al Obidinksi, and drummers Paul Distel and. Firth and Distil are noted as performers on a studio-session report Guaraldi filed for the American Federation of Musicians. Not all the music featured in the holiday special was released on the soundtrack.
