Piano Improvisation on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

Warning: This improvisation is a bit more scary than spooky, and may not be for anybody who is sensitive to jump scares. Inspired by two of my favorite 20th-Century French organists, Olivier Messiaen (the first two chords are directly lifted from his piece Jésus accepte la souffrance) and Louis Vierne.

There has to be a lot more intentionality to it - everything has to sou...

Find more of my spooky Christmas piano music on this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLmWDUMgX-HyFVy_XSNF2VyczaHqMdpngX&feature=shared The title of "In the Bleak Midwinter" was already pretty dark, so instead of trying to creatively darken it, I just doubled down.
