"'''Winter Wonderland'''" is a song written in 1934 by [[Felix Bernard]] and lyricist [[Richard Bernhard Smith]]. Due to its seasonal theme, it is often regarded as a [[Christmas song]] in the [[Northern Hemisphere]]. Since its original recording by [[Richard Himber]], it has been covered by over 200 different artists. Its lyrics are about a couple's romance during the winter season.<ref name="Lankford">{{Cite book |title=Sleigh Rides Jingle Bells & Silent Nights: A Cultural History of American Christmas Songs |last=Lankford |first=Ronald D. |date=2013 |publisher=University Press of Florida |isbn=978-0813044927 |location=Gainesville, Florida |page=[https://archive.org/details/sleighridesjingl0000lank/page/109 109] |url=https://archive.org/details/sleighridesjingl0000lank/page/109 }}</ref>

A later version of "Winter Wonderland" (which was printed in 1947) included a "new children's lyric" that transformed it "from a romantic winter interlude to a seasonal song about playing in the snow". The snowman mentioned in the song's bridge was changed from Parson Brown to a circus clown, and the promises the couple made in the final verse were replaced with lyrics about frolicking. Singers like [[Johnny Mathis]] connected both versions, adding a verse and chorus.<ref name=Lankford2>Lankford, pp. 110-111</ref>

Dick Smith, a native of [[Honesdale, Pennsylvania|Honesdale]], [[Pennsylvania]], was reportedly inspired to write the song after seeing Honesdale's Central Park covered in snow.

The song was originally recorded in 1934 for [[RCA Victor]]. At the end of a different recording session by Himber and his Hotel Ritz-Carlton Orchestra, with extra time to spare, RCA Victor suggested arranging and recording "Winter Wonderland" using some additional members of its own orchestra, which included [[Artie Shaw]] and other established [[New York City]] [[session musician|studio musicians]].

[[Guy Lombardo]]’s version that same year would go on to be one of the biggest hits of 1934.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

In 1963, [[Phil Spector]] recorded a energetically paced version of the song, employing his characteristic [[Wall of Sound]] production technique for the [[A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector]] album. [[Darlene Love]] performed lead vocals.

In 1968, [[Tony Bennett]] recorded the song on his album ''[[Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album]]''. He recorded it again in a duet with [[Lady Gaga]] in 2014.

The original recording was by [[Richard Himber]] and his Hotel Ritz-Carlton Orchestra on [[RCA|RCA Bluebird]] in 1934. At the end of a recording session with time to spare, it was suggested that this new tune be tried with an arrangement provided by the publisher. This excellent "studio" orchestra included many great [[New York City|New York]] [[studio musicians]] including the legendary [[Artie Shaw]]. The biggest chart hit at the time of introduction was Guy Lombardo's orchestra, a top ten hit.<ref>[http://tsort.info/music/2f3rk3.htm Guy Lombardo Chart Hits at TsorT.info]</ref> Singer-songwriter Johnny Mercer took the song to #4 in Billboard's airplay chart in 1946. The same season, Perry Como hit the retail top ten. Como would record a new version for his 1959 Christmas album.


==Awards and achievements==
Due to its seasonal theme, "Winter Wonderland" is often regarded as a Christmas song in the [[Northern Hemisphere]], although the holiday itself is never mentioned in the lyrics. There is a mention of "sleigh-bells" several times, implying that this song refers to the Christmas period. In the [[Swedish language]] lyrics, ''Vår vackra vita vintervärld'', the word [[tomte|tomtar]] is mentioned.
[[Guy Lombardo]]'s version was the highest on the charts at the time of introduction. [[Johnny Mercer]]'s version of the song placed at No. 4 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' airplay chart in 1946. The same season, a version by [[Perry Como]] hit the retail top ten; Como would re-record the song for his 1959 Christmas album.


In November 2007, the [[American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers]] (ASCAP) listed "Winter Wonderland" as the most-played ASCAP-member-written holiday song of the previous five years, and the [[Eurythmics]]' 1987 version as the one most commonly played.<ref>[http://www.ascap.com/press/2007/111207_holiday.aspx ASCAP Announced Top 25 Holiday Songs].

===Bing Crosby version===
The original bridge, ostensibly about a couple who make a spur-of-the-moment decision to get married, was considered inappropriate for children.{{by whom|date=December 2013}} This, in combination with the obsolescence of the traveling parson in the United States, led to the development of an alternate bridge for the song in the 1950's. A 1953 version of the sheet music contains the following replacement:<ref>Bernard, Felix & Smith, Dick. Winter Wonderland. New York: Bregman, Vocco and Conn, Inc.

"Winter Wonderland"
1934 sheet music cover
Song
Published1934 by Bregman, Vocco and Conn
GenreChristmas
Composer(s)Felix Bernard
Lyricist(s)Richard Bernhard Smith

"Winter Wonderland" is a song written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard Bernhard Smith. Due to its seasonal theme, it is often regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere. Since its original recording by Richard Himber, it has been covered by over 200 different artists. Its lyrics are about a couple's romance during the winter season.[1]

A later version of "Winter Wonderland" (which was printed in 1947) included a "new children's lyric" that transformed it "from a romantic winter interlude to a seasonal song about playing in the snow". The snowman mentioned in the song's bridge was changed from Parson Brown to a circus clown, and the promises the couple made in the final verse were replaced with lyrics about frolicking. Singers like Johnny Mathis connected both versions, adding a verse and chorus.[2]

History

[edit]

Smith, a native of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, was reportedly inspired to write the lyrics after seeing Honesdale's Central Park covered in snow. He wrote the lyrics while being treated for tuberculosis in the West Mountain Sanitarium in Scranton.[3]

The song was originally recorded in 1934 for RCA Victor. At the end of a different recording session by Himber and his Hotel Ritz-Carlton Orchestra, with extra time to spare, RCA Victor suggested arranging and recording "Winter Wonderland" using some additional members of its own orchestra, which included Artie Shaw and other established New York City studio musicians.

Guy Lombardo’s version that same year would go on to be one of the biggest hits of 1934.[citation needed]

In 1946, Perry Como recorded the song on his album Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music.

Also in 1946, The Andrews Sisters recorded the song with Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians.

In Johnny Mathis' version, heard on his 1958 LP Merry Christmas, the introduction is sung between the first and the second refrain.

In 1960, Ella Fitzgerald recorded a jazz arrangement of the song for her Verve release, Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas.

In 1963, Phil Spector recorded a energetically paced version of the song, employing his characteristic Wall of Sound production technique for the A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector album. Darlene Love performed lead vocals.

In 1968, Tony Bennett recorded the song on his album Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album. He recorded it again in a duet with Lady Gaga in 2014.

In 1971, Elvis Presley recorded the song on his album Elvis Sings The Wonderful World of Christmas.[4]

In 1999, Ringo Starr recorded the song on his album I Wanna Be Santa Claus.

In 2023, Chlöe covered the song for Amazon Music as part of their Amazon Original Music series. The cover peaked at number 87 on Billboard Hot 100,[5] making her version of the song the first to enter the chart.[6]

In 2023, Laufey covered the song for Spotify as part of their Spotify Singles Holiday series. The cover became the highest-charting version of the song in the Core Anglosphere countries, excluding the United States.[7]

Awards and achievements

[edit]

Guy Lombardo's version was the highest on the charts at the time of introduction. Johnny Mercer's version of the song placed at No. 4 on the Billboard airplay chart in 1946. The same season, a version by Perry Como hit the retail top ten; Como would re-record the song for his 1959 Christmas album.

In November 2007, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) listed "Winter Wonderland" as the most-played ASCAP-member-written holiday song of the previous five years, and the Eurythmics' 1987 version as the one most commonly played.[8]

In December 2023, Chlöe's version was the first version to enter the Hot 100 ever and Laufey's version became the highest-charting version of the song in the Core Anglosphere countries, excluding the United States.
