the soundtrack to "a charlie brown christmas" is an unorthodox mix of traditional christmas music and jazz. the jazz portions were created by the vince guaraldi trio. producer lee mendelson, a fan of jazz, heard guaraldi's crossover hit "cast your fate to the wind" on the radio not long after completion of his documentary "charlie brown & charles schulz", and contacted the musician to produce music for the special. guaraldi composed the music for the project, creating an entire piece, "linus and lucy," to serve as the theme. when coca-cola commissioned "a charlie brown christmas" in spring 1965, guaraldi returned to write the music. the first instrumentals for the special were recorded by guaraldi at glendale, california's whitney studio with bassist monty budwig and drummer colin bailey. recycling "linus and lucy" from the earlier special, guaraldi completed two new originals for the special, "skating", and "christmas time is here". in the weeks preceding the premiere, mendelson encountered trouble finding a lyricist for guaraldi's instrumental intro, and penned "christmas time is here" in "about 15 minutes" on the backside of an envelope.
