John Williams: Star of Bethlehem

Hidden in the orchestral score of the film Home Alone II is this magnificent Christmas hymn, Star of Bethlehem. The incomparable film composer John Williams’ exquisite melody and lush harmonies, Leslie Bricusse’s haunting lyric and Tom Fettke’s dynamic arrangement all blend together to create a choral moment of the highest order. Phillip Keveren’s orchestration is a perfect frame for this Christmas gem. Magnificent to say the least!
