Transcription
Production
Halperin has stated he was inspired to make the EP while made nostalgic by a red Starbucks cup in the middle of a Texas summer. According to Halperin, "Growing up, I worked on a Christmas tree farm for four years. Around Christmas, people in general are more happy and forgiving."[1]
Release
In November 2012 Tim Halperin released the EP Under that Christmas Spell,[2] which includes five arrangements of classic songs[3] and the eponymous single written by Halperin.[1] The album's final cover, "I'll Be Home for Christmas," features Hayley Orrantia on vocals.[1]
Reception
According to a review, "Under That Christmas Spell is a six-song album that intermixes original tunes and classic covers. Halperin reinvented the hymn-like 'Mary Did You Know' by adding cello and redirecting the listener to the lyricism of the song. In his rendition of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' Halperin's sincerity bleeds through as his voice dances over minimalist guitar lines and dainty xylophone."[1]
