Having watched White Christmas (1954) dozens and dozens of times over the decades I see this sequence "Snow" as the movie's nexus. Bing Crosby's "Bob Wallace" commits to going to Vermont and the trajectory of the rest of this classic is set. Even well after Christmas and the Christmas Season I'll watch this movie anytime it snows; just like it's doing now on February 13, 2022. One year, 2018, it snowed in early April (the 2nd of April) and I put on a pot of coffee in the hour or so before the sun rose and we watched White Christmas as snow was falling outside.

When you have below freezing temperatures and no electricity(no heat)it's not much fun to look at, especially when you live in Texas and you're not used to those kinds of conditions. We finally got our electricity back on after 3 days. There are still thousands that don't have theirs back on, so I'm very thankful. White Christmas is one movie my husband and I watch a lot, not just at Christmas. We love the old classic movies.

@ G - My family and I just watched this again Christmas Eve. It's turned into a new tradition. Thanks for giving credit where credit is due. Danny Kaye was an amazing untrained, natural talent who learned his skills by working his way up the Borscht belt. My musically ignorant presumption, is that especially since this song is a four part harmony, the singer's vocal tone and range fit well with Rosemary's. In any case, this song is the one I most look forward to in the movie.

I love the beautiful vocal cord they make in the intro and at 1:21 in. Can anybody name it for me? The type of chord?

@jahoopyjaheepu497 Жыл бұрын

It's a major 6th chord. The vocal harmonization in the intro, beginning with Bing, is G --> A --> C --> E into the G6 chord, which I believe is voiced, top to bottom, as GEDG. If you're interested in this type of harmony, and the arranging techniques used to produce it, you can check out Berklee's book, Modern Jazz Voicings by Ted Pease. Merry Christmas!
