Christmas Time Is Here from the animated movie A Charlie Brown Christmas.  This arrangement is embellished with laces of notes that inspire the Spirit of Christmas.  This song has long been a favorite of mine; and I've arranged the music as I usually play it; with my improvisations.

Christmas Time Is Here was composed by jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi to accompany the opening of the 1965 television special A Charlie Brown Christmas.  It was originally written as an instrumental, but producer Lee Mendelson decided that the song needed lyrics. Mendelson recalled, When we looked at the show about a month before it was to go on the air, I said, 'That's such a pretty melody; maybe we should try and find some people to put some lyrics to it.' When he was unable to find someone available, he wrote the lyrics himself:

So I sat down with an envelope — I'll never forget this — at our kitchen table and wrote 'Christmas Time Is Here' in about ten minutes. It was a poem that just came to me — never changed the words to this day. It was only about a minute long. And Vince got a bunch of little kids together to sing it.

This is a 4 part (SATB) arrangement for choirs, with chords notation.

Although the original song is in F, this arrangement is in G with the intention of adapting it better to smaller choirs, since the low F doesn't sound as nice when it's not very robust. The arrangement is simple and respects the original harmony proposed by Vince Guaraldi, with a few minor changes. If you wish, you can create a connecting line for the basses from bar 4 to 5, as it's an interval that can easily go out of tune.
This is a simple arrangement, ideal for Snoopy and Charlie Brown fans who have or are part of a small choir that wants to rehearse and sing songs for the Christmas season. May the Peanuts gang always live on in us and our music-making!
