The soundtrack to director
Chris Columbus' 1990 monster hit
Home Alone features the composing work of the legendary
John Williams and continues the Christmas theme of the film with numerous yuletide carols.
Williams' main title theme, known as "Somewhere in My Memory," is a typically sweeping affair that incorporates the childlike qualities of the film while suggesting
Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." Elsewhere, a children's choir performs "O Holy Night," and
the Drifters turn in a heartwarming version of "White Christmas." ~ Johnny Loftus
