“The Snowman” is one of my favorite musical compositions and animations. You can view the whole thing on Youtube, by the way (I selected the high quality theme to post as a sample). Perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of seasonal music ever written (or one of the most generally lovely, even). One stop shopping. This video reminds me of how much I loved the winter as a child and I still nearly tear up at it’s end. Composed by Howard Blake, 1982. Original vocal by Peter Auty, who does a wonderful job… but I still prefer the original, simple piano melody as it stands.
