?Putting on the Ritz' : c'est ainsi que les Anglo-Saxons se « mettent sur leur 31 » consacrant au passage le mondialement célèbre palace comme éternel symbole de du luxe et de la perfection. Irving Berlin célèbrera cet art de vivre avec la chanson Puttin? on the Ritz reprise par de nombreux artistes. Lorenzo Bocci en a réalisé un arrangement absolument ?ritzy'.

'White Christmas' is a 1942 Irving Berlin song reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. The version sung by Bing Crosby is the world's best-selling single with estimated sales in excess of 100 million copies worldwide. Accounts vary as to when and where Berlin wrote the song. One story is that he wrote it in 1940 in warm La Quinta California while staying at the La Quinta Hotel a frequent Hollywood retreat also favored by writer-director-producer Frank Capra although the Arizona Biltmore also claims the song waswritten there. He often stayed up all night writing—he told his secretary 'Grab your pen and take down this song. I just wrote the best song I've ever written—heck I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!'

Varied choral textures and luscious harmonies make this Irving Berlin standard an ideal selection for a cappella vocal groups. Ultimately romantic! Available: SATB a cappella SAB a cappella SSAA a cappella. Performance Time: 2:40.
