Continuity mistake: When they are arguing in his bedroom, her scarf and coat are closed at one point, then open, then closed.
The American President (1995)
Plot summary
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Michael J. Fox, Martin Sheen
The widowed President of the USA invites a woman he likes (Sydney) to a state banquet. They fall in love, but the press turns it into scandal and the opposition leader uses it as an excuse to run down the presidents character. He will not defend his private life to the world and his popularity at the polls plummets. He then loses the love of Sydney when he is forced to get the environment bill that she is campaigning for thrown out (and her fired as a by-product) to defend his own crime bill.

Question: When Sydney and the President are having dinner alone at Sydney's place (I think) around Christmastime, there is a beautiful song playing softly in the background. It is being sung by what sounds like two or three sopranos. Does anyone know the name of this song and its composer?
