Meredith Willson was an American composer best known for his hit Broadway musical The Music Man. He wrote It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas in 1951. It is a popular belief that Willson wrote the song while staying in the Grand Hotel in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The lyrics reference the Grand Hotel, the nearby park, and the “five and ten,†which was a store in Yarmouth at that time. This arrangement for clarinet, cello, and piano is set in a swing style and incorporates jazz rhythms and articulations.
