Do You Hear What I Hear Backing Track

Are you planning to sing the widely loved Christmas song ‘Do You Hear What I Hear’ on this Christmas Day? If yes, then you should not miss reading this write-up. Here, we have discussed about the history of this song, the song’s summary and also offered tips that will help you in getting Do You Hear What I Hear backing track and Do You Hear What I Hear vocal guide of highest quality.

The song was written by the widely respected French songwriter Noel Regney in the year 1962; the music of the song was composed by the American composer Gloria Shayne Baker. During the time of this creation, the pair was married. However, unlike this number, the majority of the other creations of this pair had Regney as the composer and Shayne as the lyricist.

Let us now come to the summary of this legendary Christmas carol. The lyrics of “Do You Hear What I Hear’ describes the news of Jesus’ birth spread. The song begins with the actions of “Night Wind’ that roam around whispering the news of birth of Jesus into the ears of a baby lamb. The lamb conveys this message to the shepherd, who then reports the incident to the highest authority i.e. the king. Finally, the king completes the duty of spreading the news to his people and people around the globe. The lyricist has intelligently modified the message in every verse; he has done so because the same news is usually expressed in different words by different people.

The song was released in 1962, the same year in which it was written and composed. The release occurred only a few days after Thanksgiving of 1962. The timing of the release was perfect for those who were looking for a fresh number to sing on the Christmas Day. Although the original recording artist of ‘Do You Hear What I Hear’ was Harry Simeone, the song was declared hit only when it was sang by the celebrated American singer Bing Crosby. Due to this reason, the top vocal guide and backing track stores always offer tracks made for Bing’s version of the song.

You will not need to spend a big amount for purchasing vocal guide and backing track from a top online back track store. The best stores will make you spend a maximum of £2.50 for purchasing backtrack and vocal guide for ‘Do You Hear What I Hear’.
