  • Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
  • On December 9, 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas aired on TV screens across America and instantly captured the hearts and ears of a generation. Bolstering the animated special, based on Charles M. Schulz’s immensely popular PEANUTS comic strip, was an engaging score from Bay Area jazz artist Vince Guaraldi, who brought characters like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy to life through his evocative cues.
    Working primarily with bassist Fred Marshall and drummer Jerry Granelli, Guaraldi paired inspired interpretations of traditional holiday fare (“O Tannenbaum,” “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,” and “What Child Is This”) with original compositions, including the instantly recognizable “Linus and Lucy” theme, “Skating,” and “Christmas Time Is Here.” The latter song, available as both an instrumental and vocal track, featured young choral singers from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in San Rafael, CA.
    More than five decades later, the Emmy® and Peabody®-winning animated classic has spawned more than two dozen subsequent PEANUTS specials. Guaraldi’s soundtrack, meanwhile, has since become one of the best-selling jazz albums in history, second only to Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, and regularly ranks among America’s top-selling holiday albums every December.

Seriously so many things came together to make such a classic batch of art. All the specials are great and I really love The Great Pumpkin Waltz maybe the most of all. Can't go wrong with any of his Peanuts work though really.

      @@edlawrence6553 For the first Peanuts special (A Charlie Brown Christmas), there were a lot of things Charles Schultz pushed hard for that networks and studio executives thought would never work. Charles wanted actual kids to do the voices for all the Penauts characters (a tradition that continues to this day despite having to frequently recast the roles), wanted Vince to compose the soundtrack entirely on his own and most importantly wanted to include the true meaning of Christmas with the bible passage Linus quotes.

      +Hector Griffin I enjoyed it immensely. If there is one complaint -- only one -- there was nobody over 35 on the show. I can't understand why the networks are so insistent on kids, kids, kids these days. Nothing against them, but I long for the days when older entertainers like Bing Crosby paired with newcomers like David Bowie for example. Even today it's done on a limited basis -- Lady Gaga paired with Tony Bennett. That show needed more of that. Just my opinion.

You are better people now that you are away from that negativity. And it's okay if it hurts - it really is. Because that means that you have a heart in you.

    "Lights, please."
    And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
    in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
    And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
    and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
    and they were sore afraid.
    And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
    I bring you good tidings of great joy,
    which shall be to all people.
    For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
    which is Christ the Lord.
    And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
    wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
    And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
    heavenly host praising God, and saying,
    Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
    good will toward men.
    That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown...

      How humanity has longingly hung onto the desperate grasp of the heartstrings of sacrifice. That's what I hear in Guaraldi's take on this most ancient of tunes, a depth of meaning and expression of the innermost reaches of the warmth of its simple chord progression, expanded into the massive creativity that only his jazz palate could let blossom. Highly recognizable, yet clearly a vast departure of what came before. Genius. What child is this?

    It’s 2022, I was born in 2002, and 2004 i was in Lebanon.
    I cried as soon as this soundtrack started playing because i re experience and relive a happy memory where we it used to be my mom, my dad, my brother, our 3 cats and 2 dogs in front of the TV living room, watching Charlie Brown Christmas special. And it was simply the easier times. Before more fucked up family relationships and life struggles came to arise and became a part of my consciousness.
    Which makes this comment all that more saddening to write. And that this will soon be a present moment that will become past as soon as you finish reading this “now comment”. The Charlie Brown specials, weee simply nostalgic af. ✨✨✨✨
    Since last year’s October, my mom and I had to move into a new house to rent. Because our landlord was a jerk, very demanding for more money that then became unaffordable for my mom to pay rent. So yeah. We had all pur furniture moved to a new house in the same country: Lebanon. So life was different and it was so sad to say goodbye to pur house. Seeing it get very emptied. I took pictures of each of the rooms before they were all emptied. As memory and to write about it all in my future autobiography.❤✨✨✨

    Vince, your music is woven into American culture like a heartbeat into life-ever-present, essential, and felt by all, from the youngest to the oldest, bringing joy and warmth with every note. I can't listen without my toes tapping the floor. Somehow, your music ignites a kinetic symphony within me, starting with a subtle toe-tap that cascades upward to my hips. Even while seated, my torso slowly begins to sway, shoulders roll back and forth, and head begins to bob ever so slightly, until I am in an irrepressible seated dance-an expression of the joy bestowed by your piano and brush drum, transforming me into a living, breathing instrument of your infectious rhythms.

    Whenever I listen to this album I'm transported back to when I was a kid. My dad wanted to be a composer in college so he loves piano music and always played the Charlie brown Christmas album while cooking dinner and my house just was filled with Christmas spirit. The snow falling outside, a cozy fireplace and Christmas decorations inside. Makes me nostalgic every time I listen to it and almost sad at how much I miss those times as a kid. Yet that magic and happiness always returns whenever I play this music. My Dad knows how much I love it so it's a tradition to play this album throughout the house whenever it's Christmas time.
    So THANK YOU Vince Guaraldi for all of this timeless music that no matter how many times you listen to it you don't lose the magic. God Bless.
