Moonlight In Vermont

The Four Freshmen · Other Songs - The Four Freshmen

Pennies in a stream

Falling leaves a sycamore

Moonlight in Vermont



Gentle finger waves

Ski trails down a mountain side

Snowlight in Vermont



Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway

As they travel each bend in the road

And when people meet, in this romantic setting

They're so hypnotized be the lovely



Evening summer breeze

Sweet warblings of the meadowlark

Moonlight in Vermont

About Moonlight In Vermont

The Four Freshmen's "Moonlight In Vermont" stands as a quintessential example of their sophisticated vocal ensemble style, blending smooth harmonies with a relaxed, jazz-inflected swing. Recorded during the late 1950s, the track exemplifies the group's ability to craft lush, atmospheric soundscapes that defined the vocal jazz genre of the era. The song features the signature interplay of the quartet, where each member contributes distinct melodic lines that weave together into a cohesive and emotive performance. This recording captures the essence of the group's repertoire, which often drew inspiration from popular songbooks while infusing them with a unique, polished arrangement. The piece showcases their technical precision and emotional depth, making it a staple in collections of mid-century vocal jazz. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of calm and nostalgia, characteristic of the group's most celebrated works from that period.
