The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

December 14, 2015 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Snowfall

On the first day of the Twelve Days of a Tony Bennett Christmas, Monday, December 14, 2015, the song of the day is “Snowfall.”

About This Song

“Snowfall” was written in 1941 by Claude and Ruth Thornhill. It’s an interesting song, it’s a cool jazz song, though written in 1941, long before there was such as thing as cool jazz. It’s an evocative and moody song and is quite beautiful.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Snowfall” in 1968 for his first Christmas album: Snowfall–The Tony Bennett Christmas Album. The song “Snowfall” was arranged and conducted by Robert Farnon.
