By Dolly Parton. By Carol Hall. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. Broadway,Film/TV,Jazz,Musical/Show. Score. 4 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #908230. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1319678)."Hard Candy Christmas" is a song written by composer-lyricist Carol Hall for the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Near the end of the original play, individual girls of the brothel sing lines of the verses as they are preparing to leave; they join together on the refrains. This pattern was adopted for the film version of the musical, except that Dolly Parton (who played Miss Mona) is featured as soloist on the refrains, with the girls accompanying her. A further alteration can be found on the soundtrack album for the film in which Parton alone sings the verses. This version was developed from the original 1977 sheet music and features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We hope you like what we've done with this grand old tune!
