Here's a perennial favorite, A Charlie Brown Christmas [Expanded TV Soundtrack] (1965).
The soundtrack was composed by jazz piano impresario genius Vince Guaraldi,
along with Fred Marshall on double bass and the great Jerry Granelli on drums. Christmas Time Is Here and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing were sung by
a choir of children, culled from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in San Rafael.
This complete soundtrack contains all of the Vince Guaraldi songs, including "Surfing Snoopy" , "Charlie Brown Theme" and "Fredia", some which have been omitted from the various "Charlie Brown Christmas" incarnations over the years.
