Do You Hear What I Hear?

This is my instrumental arrangement of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” – a song written in October 1962, with lyrics by Noël Regney and music by Gloria Shayne.The pair, married at the time, wrote it as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Regney had been invited by a record producer to write a Christmas song, but he was hesitant due to the commercialism of Christmas. The song has sold tens of millions of copies and has been covered by hundreds of artists.
