Can anyone please help create a list of songs from Winter Holiday Musicals? All religious denominations included. List the obvious ones too... Trying to compile a suggestions list for a variety show with a Winter holiday theme.
Looking for specific song titles and the musical they are from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
:)
White Christmas- White Christmas Need a Little Christmas- Mame
Hard Candy Christmas - Best Little Whorehouse in Texas It's beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Here's Love! I Don't Remember Christmas - Starting Here, Starting Now New Deal for Christmas - Annie Twelve Days Till Christmas - She Loves Me Merry Almost Christmas - A Year with Frog and Toad
"Hard Candy Christmas," The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
"Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher," Billy Elliot
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
"Pine Cones and Holly Berries"- Here's Love "Christmas at Hampton Court"- Rex "Happy, Happy New Year"- Dance a Little Closer "I Feel Like New Year's Eve"- Something More
Also, have you considered checking out some of the original songs that on the "Broadway Carols for a Cure" CDs? They would be a great source of material as well.
ALthough not strictly Christmas songs Toyland and March of the Toys (from BABES IN TOYLAND) do get a fair amount of play in the Holiday season.
Also...
It's Christmastime (SONG OF NORWAY) Yuletide Park Avenue (CALL ME MISTER) Lovers on Christmas Eve (I LOVE MY WIFE) Be a Santa (SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING)
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks." Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
"Do-Re-Mi" from Sound of Music...yes it's technically not a Christmas song in the musical, but that doesn't stop it from constantly being played during Christmas season
Are you sure, f13overture? I know "My Favorite Things" has become a Christmas staple, but I've never heard "Do-Re-Mi" during the holidays.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

I would love to know how in the world "My Favorite Things" became a Christmas song. Just because it mentions snow and packages? It is a great song-but I'm certain Rodgers and Hammerstein never meant for it to be a Christmas song.
Now, to answer the question-does New Years count?
If so-"This Time Next Year" from "Sunset Boulevard" and "The Perfect Year" from "Sunset Boulevard"
At Christmastime - SONG OF NORWAY (not "It's Christmastime") Greenwillow Christmas - GREENWILLOW Snowflakes And Sweethearts - ANYA Ribbons And Wrappings - SONG OF NORWAY (film) Blissful Christmas - GONE WITH THE WIND (Rome) Christmas Day - PROMISES, PROMISES A Christmas Carol - SCROOGE Father Christmas - SCROOGE December The 25th - SCROOGE Birthday Party Of The King - STINGIEST MAN IN TOWN A Christmas Carol (Holly-Ho) - THE STINGIET MAN IN TOWN (Actually, anything from SCROOGE, THE STINGIEST MAN IN TOWN, and MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL.) Happy Christmas, Little Friend - Rodgers and Hammerstein Thank You For Your Love - Schmidt and Jones
