Vince Guaraldi Trio - Linus And Lucy

- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- 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.

I finally learned how to play this on piano after months of practice.
it's that darn LH / RH independence. Good grief!
LOL it took me 15 minutes
CONGRATULATIONS BIG TIME!!! happy holidays from vancouver, canada!
@@BlastinRope But how many years did it take you to get to the point that you can learn it that fast?
Impressive!
It ain't Christmas until this song is played
yup
This, the Carol of the Bells, the Christmss Song by Adam Sandler, and of course, Cheech & Chong's xmas song😂
@@RichardBashore My mom has a plush Snoopy dressed as Santa who dances to this tune. It's a cute way to celebrate the season.
i wholeheartedly agree.
I love how this basically became the theme song for the entire franchise.
@Zippy Thekid What're you talking about? I remember seeing stuff that effectively made this seem like the Peanuts theme song before social media was around.
@@furioussherman7265 It won the Emmy for Best Song in 1965.
And a Christmas song
@@furioussherman7265 I saw the peanuts specials when they first aired in the 60s I've always associated Peanuts with this music, even though he wrote a dozen jazz numbers for the series. Since he deleted his post I'm guessing the guy you're talking to claimed social media made this popular.
@@furioussherman7265 I mean back then this wasn’t the theme song before this special came out
this song just makes me feel... so warm and comfy. Like I'm sitting by a fireplace in December
This was my exposure to jazz. Long live Vince Guaraldi.
yo cary hi
Caryy
Ah, don't tell me Computery has to compose this now? Or... re-compose...
I do agree Cary, it dose make me feel like that too.
The first thing my daughter always tells her friends when they come over, "if you ask, my mom will play the Charlie Brown song on the keyboard for you" 😂🙄
How cute!! I wish we could live in a simpler time were interaction between kids were completely physical and not this mess the year 2016 served us.
David Brick I can only hope that I can protect and raise my children in a way, they will have morals beyond the modern insanity were currently in.
C M my Granddaughter hasn't heard this yet. Yet I know she'll love it. Her big thing right now is Stevie Wonder.
C M, have you made a video of you playing it?
C M you sound like a great mother!
This song is a happy place...
I am 70 years old and undoubtedly this is my HAPPY song.
Bless your soul
Amazing how music can unlock parts of ourselves that we thought we'd buried or outgrown. Suddenly I'm 7 years old again, sitting in my living room and watching A Charlie Brown Christmas with my parents, my little brother, and a big mug of hot chocolate.
+Robert Brown Gah...the feels!!!
+Robert Brown cant forget wearing the PJs and slippers....all clean and refreshed having just had our baths...the old man with the newspaper in front of him.....lights on the Christmas tree blinking.......
Yes it is amazing how certain music can transport us way back in time! :)
***** Happiness and sunshine to you, my friend! :)
+Robert Brown We all feel like we're kids, when Charlie's yearly Christmas special is aired on our local ABC station.
+Robert Brown i was seven last year im 8
now
I was 5 years old in 1965 when my dad called me into the living room to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. I heard Skating and Linus and Lucy and I was hooked on Guaraldi. Began piano lessons at 7 years and had my first professional gig at a Christmas party in 1977. Still love this timeless music by a genius of a composer. Thank you, Vince. Thank you, Charles Schultz and the Peanuts gang.
Cool !
Happy im assuming 62 Birthday
@@dampedlamplolhe would be 64 this year 😊
Every student that I teach wants to learn this song, so I had no choice but to become good at playing and teaching it. Glad that I did. Amazing tune!
Pink Panther theme
toyoscio I’ve learned both and Linus and Lucy is more fun
@@toyoscio No. That's different.
@@goldrushytx Cool, Linus and Lucy is, but PP can hold its own.
@@TheInkPitOx It is, but both are Iconic LOL
This is one of those songs that just never gets old.
I know what you mean!
A classic song like that will never get old for me.
It doesn't get too old for me. Maybe it'll stay the same after the Peanuts Movie opens on Friday
+GoodVsEvil1314 AMEN! A Classic that will never be old. The most listened too and most requested song in Christmas music radio history.
Absolutely! All Vince's music can take you to another place...
My wife and I had this tune played as the exit music at our wedding. You should have seen their faces when they realized what was happening. Been married seventeen years to my best friend
do you mind if I steal this idea for my future wedding? lol this is genius and so cute! congrats to you and your wife 🥳
@@kiara3299 I'm glad you liked the idea. God bless you and Merry Christmas
My wife and I were going to do "Movin' on up' from The Jeffersons but the DJ said 'he couldn't find it'.
wow amazing!
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐. That's what it's about. Growing old with the person who knows you best. I wish you two many more happy years.
Thank you Charles Schulz and Vince Guaraldi, you still make me smile!
Me too.
@@FredPickett-q8z me three...
yes... always
Don’t forget the man who made the movies we all love Bill Melendez.
It is not officially Christmas until you hear this one!
So True!
dabrazillionaire Damn straight
How come it cannot be played at any time of year?
dabrazillionaire yes
You got that right!
You hear that sound? That's the sound of childhood nostalgia.
You knew it was Christmas season when this played
good old days when i watched charlie brown
N O S T A L G I A
plus whiskey
secondhand nostalgia at this point
I told my son when i pass away some day that i would like to have this played at my funeral. He asked why, and i said because this song makes everyone happy❤
I'm 72 and I think that's a great idea. This song is about so much more than Christmas...and looking for the big pumpkin. It recalls times with my kids. We played it all year long! 🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛💙
This is one of the most amazing piano songs ever written. We will always love you Vince!
Iconic, as well.
We sure will Eric.!!!
So true Eric.
Vince wasn’t so great.
I mean, well, he never got his picture on bubble gum cards.
No he didn’t.
How can you call someone great if they never got their picture on bubble gum cards?
Linus and Lucy Recorded at spotify Studios NYC is better imo
One of the most easily recognizable compositions of the modern era of music
🥱🥱
Especially jazz!
"Linus and Lucy" was playing on The Weather Channel the moment my wife and I first met in the waiting room of our dentist. I don't play any instruments, but I learned how to play this song on a piano. Immediately after my wife and I kissed as a married couple for the first time,,I sat down and played this song. Everyone, my wife especially, loved it.
Thank you, Vince Guaraldi. You played a part in what is now going on a 16 year marriage, and you will always be a part of it.
update-22 year marriage
Now That sir is an exceptional story, especially if you managed to play this piece, it is incredibly nuanced and even after studying piano when I was younger, it would have been outside of my range. I hope you and your wife are having a blessed and merry Christmas!
Heartwarming story. Thanks so much for sharing. I love all things Vince Guaraldi especially “Cast Your Fate To The Wind” Ever notice how none of his music gets old. That’s because it’s timeless.
Awww! I hope you and your bride are still happily married. Great story!
Did you ask her out in the waiting room?
I worked at college/public radio station many decades ago. I played this at the end of every shift I worked. Made the station manager crazy but when I left after graduation he had the whole staff sign the album cover and gave it to me. Best graduation present ever!!
A beloved classic.. I'll just sit back, close my eyes and let the memories happen...
Almost 60 years ago, this masterpiece of a song was created and was just considered a mere piano piece for a cartoon special. Today in 2021, this song is just as iconic as it was back when the Charlie Brown specials were first being made. Most people you ask would probably know this theme, and it’s probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Charlie Brown. This is one great theme indeed
Amen. Vince was a genius.!
It's great that there is more recognition of cartoon music (including eg. Charles Cornell analysis of various cartoon themes/music) because there is some really good stuff out there which almost goes unnoticed. Similarly, I never relaised until I heard jazz cover by The Consouls that vgm is actually so good. The best thing is that this great music is being absorbed by children/youth and hopefully will encourage a higher level of musicianship in pop music which has been in a bit of a slump for a couple of decades now.
it resonates, still, in 2023.
This always puts a smile on my face. It takes me back to my childhood. I'm 59 and still watch A Charlie Brown Christmas every year.
+Paminlp It's my Mom's Happy song. I grew up on A Charlie Brown Christmas.:)
+Dom Oranzi glad we're gonna hear this again in Peanuts Movie
+Andreas Evando Priyanto A Peanuts Movie you say? Are there any trailers out? Or even an article somewhere?
+Andreas Evando Priyanto Forget what I just said, I looked it up moments later, and found a trailer. Oh boy! I can't wait!
+Andreas Evando Priyanto I'm glad so too I wonder how Christoph Beck and David Benoit did the new arrangement.
Just had a cheeseburger at a classic restaurant in Marin County. My friend randomly airdrops me a picture of a man with glasses. I go “who’s that?“. He goes: “he’s a famous pianist and did work on Peanuts”. I go - Vince Guaraldi? Turns out - Yes! He then points over to the receptionist - who I’ve known for years - and says that’s her father. IMMEDIATELY got me out of my seat. He died when she was 16 years old. Blew me away! Gave her a hug. Tears, you bet. Amazing.
Christmas is never Christmas without this song..........ever!!
or seeing the Hersey Kisses "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" commercial"!
Agreed
this is a christmas song? i think this is just a peanuts song
James Moyner Can’t forget the M&M’s commercial 😂
Or watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special with all of your loved ones
Our 15 month old absolutely loves this song. He has a Snoopy doll that plays it and he dances along
Awww, How darling..❤❤❤❤
I was ten years old when this show first aired in 1965. Vince Guaraldi's music, especially "Linus and Lucy", sparked my life-long love of jazz.
NEVER thought a piano could hit as HARD as a six-string electric guitar!!!!! A REAL rocker!!!!!
this is so metal
This song just hits different
Please try: Tigran Hamasyan
@@saddeststoryevertold7146 👍Great recommendation. Also Hiromi Uehara.
Amen!!😊
I watched the special today, Christmas Eve 2024, for the first time in awhile. No matter how many times I've seen it, it always seems new and fresh.
Christmas or not Christmas, this song still works anytime of the day or any day of the year.
And it has since become one of the most iconic and identifiable pieces of music in history.
The year I was cast as Snoopy in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown," my friend found this record - it was on vinyl - and she would play it whenever I went over to her house. She said Snoopy had to have entrance music. We would dance around the room like fools and end up laughing and out of breath while her older sister shook her head at our childishness and her mom yelled, "Don't skip the record!" LOL... shout out to CJ and those good times!
Great story! We should always remember to be 'childish'!
Sounds like a cool friend to have had.

A charlie brown Christmas is a holiday classic 😊 4 ever
This is one of the most iconic piano pieces of the 20th century. It's amazing. It feels profound now, and it makes me cry. Linus, Charlie, Lucy, Snoopy. I will always love it.
I know the feeling
So many grew up to this “Classic”
As soon as you hear the first few notes you know instantly it’s Linus & Lucy!
Brings a smile every time! 😊
I think the best part of the Christmas season might be listening to Vince Guaraldi.
One thing I love about this masterpiece: it's raw. Listen for the little flub at 0:50. Instead of cutting and re-recording, Guaraldi just played through. We don't get to hear that very often these days.
_"Instead of cutting and re-recording, Guaraldi just played through."_
Of course he did. But the decision to leave that "little flub" in the final published recording was solely that of the producer, who decided that this live take -- flaws and all -- was good enough. It would have been simple enough to splice in a few bars from another take to cover the mistake, had the budget permitted it. Evidently this take of that particular section of the composition was the best they had, and they went with it, warts and all. That's not to say that the other sections of the final recording were not from other takes. Who knows? A skilled engineer can make several takes seem like one.
*****
You misunderstand. I'm not complaining. I like the flub, as I feel it lends humanity to the piece. Or were you addressing "Only Ed and the Almost"? Also, I am very experienced with picking up errors in recordings. I'm a classical composition major, so I listen to everything with a somewhat over-analytical ear. The truth is, in this day and age, there is so much looping and editing of tracks that those little mistakes that "humanize" music get lost. It's still there in classical recordings, but mainstream music has lost its humanity in a lot of ways.
*****
Couldn't agree more. Where are you planning to study?
*****
For the record, and as a longtime Vince Guaraldi fan, I noticed the "flub" in this particular recording of _Linus and Lucy_ the very first time I heard it. And you know what? It didn't bother me a bit. As a pianist with maybe 1/100th the talent of Vince Guaraldi, I know that mistakes happen. And as a recording and mixing engineer I know firsthand that, in a production environment, choices must be made. I wouldn't call this particular published version of _Linus and Lucy_ a "masterpiece" _because_ it has uncorrected mistakes. It's just a great composition, regardless of any particular recorded (and edited) performance.
The flub almost sounds like an unintentional slip note.
never gets old!!! What a great memory
Those of us who are of a vintage know a good tune.
This song reminds me of how Christmas should be celebrated
Bless you, Charles Schultz. You may be gone, but we will always remember the legacy you left for us.
Love this song, it's very arguably my favorite purely instrumental piece. I could be having the worst day, but if I hear this, my mood is lightened immediately, and whatever went wrong doesn't quite seem so bad anymore.
Xmas Eve traditions have finally begun once this song is played!
Thanks for a lifetime of xmas joy!
This reminds me of back when life used to be simple :)
Then came along 2016...
Life wasn't simpler, i imagine you just grew up.
Funk Police that’s deep.
When you are a kid....life is simpler.....no matter what is going on elsewhere
Saame
I don't even care if it's Christmas. I still listen to this!
I feel the same way.
Yes
This song plays even in normal day peanuts movies/episodes
Technically, I dont consider it Christmas since it's used in other specials that arent Christmas. It wasn't even originally a Christmas song, as it was meant to be used in a documentary in 1964(1 year before A Charlie Brown Christmas) that never came out due to no funding.
Charlie Brown Christmas is the best Christmas cartoon special.
The Peanuts Movie 2015 was one of the most magical movies just because of this song in the intro.
And that song was 'Skating'
Well, you can't blame me. I got to the theater about 5 minutes into the movie.
+DatBlooper99 same ;-;
I don't see how you could make a Peanuts Movie WITHOUT using this song at this point.
Especially the original.
58 Years old and I watch every year !!
Who's here for it this year? The greatest jazz with a holiday twist. Thank you for the yearly blessing, Vince.🎄
Me!
11-27-22 listener.
A favourite
Me!
Well, I'm in the last week of November 2023. Where were you?
My sister's and I used to dance so hard to this song in the living room, we made the record skip. Now I'm sharing it with my son on RUclips. Wild!
I hosted a recital yesterday and the highlight, for me, was seeing a student performing this and nailing it!
This is a song that makes you feel warm even on the coldest nights
This album is in my top 5 of my all time favorite. This is a stunning piece of art in my opinion. Loved since 1st grade.
It was literally my first exposure to jazz! Loved it and still do to this day.
This has to be one of the all time best jazz masterpieces!!!
One of the best instrumentals of all time.
I find it's impossible NOT to be in a good mood after listening to this classic
When I was a boy, my parents wanted me to learn to play the piano-after learning the basics & chop sticks, my tutor taught me to play this beautiful melody - BEEN playing it ever since - BEAUTIFUL!
This song makes me so happy.
Remember what it was to be young, when we were all young and nobody we loved was yet dead. Remember the excitement the Christmas Season brought? School gatherings around a Christmas tree singing Christmas Carols (yes, Christmas, not holiday or solstice songs). Remember going skating on a local pond? It may have only happened once as child, but it is seared in my memory, and music such as this brings it all back. Todays youth are missing so much, in my mind.
Don’t worry most of us are doing fine (responding to the last sentence).
I'll never be able to fully and properly understand the experiences of past generations, but if people of all age groups can and will treasure this piece for centuries to come, then at least the ability to enjoy some semblance of the jubilation you've felt in your youth must have passed down, and for that reason, the past can never be truly, completely forgotten so long as this piece exists.
@@youtubeviolatedme7123 I think every generation experiences the same view: Our days were the best. Stuff that we grew up with become cast in amber/frozen in time. We always choose to remember the sweet memories. Every generation thinks that the next has lost something we experienced. For me, it is innocence. The world is becoming increasingly coarse and hateful, and too damn quick and impersonal with technology. For example, todays youth can't imagine a world without an internet, cell phones, and social media. When I grew up, we had dial phones, wrote letters, and grabbed T.V. from an antenna on our roof (Only 3 or 4 good reception stations, but hey, it was free!). Technology has only made our lives more hectic, and the age of "instant information" also leads to premature and unwise reaction/decisions. Slowness of time had its blessings.
LOVE this Vince Guaraldi Trio piece.......I have a tear in my eye.
This is the theme Song to my childhood! OH what great memories I have, from listening too all of these Peanut classics.
Today Jerry Granelli, the original drummer passed away at the age of 80. RIP Jerry!
Vince Guaraldi truly served Charlie Brown & the gang with come classic, timeless music. I wish he were still around. Interesting thing, is that this music easily doubles as kid-friendly and as easy listening for adults.
He was a genius. He is really missed.
His music is family friendly too
I listen to it any time I need a quick uplift!
Am I the only one who’ll play this song, close my eyes and smile as all the nostalgia thoughts and Christmas memories flush in my head till the songs over?
Listening to it now in San Francisco, ten days before Christmas 2024, sixty years later.
This is my childhood it reminds me of family and friends in the past....Happy Holidays 😊
Good grief
oh, my childhood. It's nice seeing you again.
As I listen to this song I have such bittersweet emotions. On one hand, my heart hurts knowing Christmas,and life itself,, will never be as simple, joyful and magical as it was when I was a child. On the other hand I am so grateful for the happy memories that I have.
Christmas will always be as magical as you make it. Growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional!
One of my personal favorite Christmas songs! And I don't just listen to it on said holiday, I listened to it on any day after or before the 25th of December.
RIP Charles and Vince.
Thank you for entertaining us for more than 50 years.
So many memories surrounding this music going back to Dec 1965 when I first heard it. I was 5 years old.
So you're 52 or 53?
57 or 58 mate. Hey......that rhymed!
MsPrincesspaulina You would have been 3 when JFK was killed
I just turned 3 in 1965 and barely remember this debut, but watched it every year since. It was a part of the Christmas season in my childhood.
💕🌷I haved loved Charlie Brown Peanuts since I was a young girl. Charles Schultz will always be someone I admire.
Brilliant masterpiece. Enjoying at Christmas Eve. & through out holidays. ❤
140 thumbs-down? What kind of childhood did these folks have?
Cindy Gray Ones without Charlie Brown in it! D:
It's Lucy's fault! 😁
heh I'd thumbs it down if I actually did such a thing ever. The tune is sooo overplayed and not really very interesting. I have an irrational hate of the beginning, I guess cause it's all people ever play.
They must want the Death Metal versions while they torture kittens. EVIL!
Maybe they just don't like jazz, poor guys.
One of the most joyful tunes of all time in my opinion.
The one, The only, The Original. Still a timeless classic
I've loved this piece since I was a little fella. Everytime I hear it I can't help but picture all the peanuts dancing on stage while Linus drops this sick beat
Schroeder.
Every year
My family and I watched Charlie Brown Christmas
Such a classic, every generation should watch this
Taught myself how to play this song on the piano since I was 8 years old, 40 years old now and still playing this song!!!Always been a huge Peanuts fan!!💗💗💗
I'm 66 and just learning it, your comment gives me hope!
you learned this at 8 years old? 0_0 I'm not sure I've ever met an 8 year old that could play something this complex
@@solomonjenkins9505My life has been all about music ❤❤
One of my precious childhood memories was watching Peanuts cartoons and listening to the wonderful music of Vince Guaraldi. As a kid I really didn't know what Jazz was, I just liked the songs that were on the cartoons. Now as an adult I of course have Vince Guaraldi in my music library. When I was younger I was a Rock N' Roll snob and wouldn't even consider listening to Jazz. I had forgotten that Jazz was in my brain since a little kid thanks to Peanuts. Now that I'm older and wiser I can appreciate all music. If it touches your soul who cares about labels? Linus and Lucy was the gateway drug that opened my ears and blew my mind wide open to how cool Jazz is. As a fab 50 year old I still watch the Peanuts holiday specials and let Vince Guaraldi's precious music take me to a happy place.
RIP Vince! Nobody rocked a moustache like you! 😊
This song is a favorite. I hop up and dance around my house like a fool every time ❤
the nostalgia is real when listening to this song
You can't tell me that when you hear this song you don't feel like a kid again watching Charlie Brown's Christmas in your pajamas. Every Christmas I make it a point to watch Charlie Brown's Christmas, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, Santa Claus is coming to town, A Christmas Story, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and a Christmas carol Disney version or The Jim Carrey version.
I so agree. Gonna show my age here...Charlie Brown's Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas would be on early December, and that marked the beginning of the Christmas Season.
A time before cable, a time of wonderment as a child. A life before handheld gadgets! These memories are what help us hold it together today, we draw upon those moments to become our better selves
Ace Wilcox i feel the same! My little cousin just watches MLG RUclips videos instead of old time cartoons, this generation. :(
I had this flashback of me watching this and hearing this when I was 5, went to hear this song in the middle of April
As Christmas approaches, I felt the need to express my humble opinion regarding this music. Nostalgia pervades the music of Vince Guaraldi coupled with the work of Charles Schultz. For me, Guaraldi’s music brings me back to my youth, to a cold Christmas day, surrounded by the warmth of both the cozy fire and my ever-loving family. To a time of pure bliss, where innocence and ignorance kept my mind at ease, where worries ceased to exist. As a young adult, I carry that longing for the past, who wouldn’t? However, that being said, I know I must carry on, for I will one day be providing the same security and comfort my parents gave me to my own children, and that in itself, is pure joy. So as I sit here… listening to the music of Vince Guaraldi and pondering life, I believe the words of Nick Carrway from the brilliant novel The Great Gatsby best sums up what I’m trying to say:
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Happy Holidays to all! May the Music of Vince Guaraldi continue to bring happiness into the hearts of all!
good words- thanks
And you sir, @Max Malmgren, are a gentleman, scholar, and solid in your roots and heritage. Stay true to that path, and vision, we have much to learn no matter our age, or station in life or achievements, each day is a journey. (Minor edit: Nick *Carraway is the spelling of the narrator's name in The Great Gatsby.)
Marry Christmas, Charlie Brown.
I remembered in choir class by listening this song in Christmas times!
It's sentimental, even sad at moments, yet full of joy in the next. Like life.
What a master piece.
its almost comical how good this song is
yep
It's both good and happy... it's fun!
Because of how melancholy the comic "Peanuts" often was.
Pun intended?
@@CatMaster90001 Pun? Where?
I’ve heard this about 50 times on the radio
This is one of the greatest songs ever written, I learned how to play this song on bass guitar and the melody. This is my sister and my favorite song it takes you back when life was simple. I can always play this song and it brightens up my day love you Vince!!!!!
Agreed!
My daughter loves this song. It’s a Christmas tradition🎄
A multi generation album
we played this in my band class and it was so much fun! one of my favorite christmas songs for sure
I wasn't born when the first Peanuts comic strip or tv special came out. I was born in 99' but I'm with my mom and we're watching It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! I still watch and laugh at the Peanuts specials. I just love them so much.
the special is being reaired October 30th
Hopefully, you weren't one of those kids who, at Halloween, only got rocks in their Trick-or-Treating bags.
I am 72. Where have I been all these years? Just heard my granddaughter play this tune on the piano. I did not know /recognize the tune. Doing some research. Found out it's called "Linus and Lucy". Theme song. (A Charlie Brown Christmas. 12/9/65 TV.) Absolutely LOVE it !!!. Jazzy tune. 57 yrs. old !!! Thank You Vince Guaraldi (Bay Area Jazz Artist) for the tune !!!! K Bergman
This is my morning alarm for work. ♪♫
This song is an absolute classic. I don't care how old I'll be, it'll always bring a smile to my face.
Unlike any of us, I hope this will live forever!
The first time that,I heard this tune,it turned me onto Jazz.
My son's Philharmonic Orchestra performed this last week. He plays viola.
60 years later and still loving it!
I saw this when it was first broadcast and haven't missed it since!
@@MrBronx61 I salute you!
This song will always be great for generations!!!
Happy Holidays 2023🎅🎅☃️☃️👍😁🎄!!!
I worked at ups for many years. I walked into the building one day in the early morning, and this song was playing. It captures the mood, the work pace, and the busyness of the season, but is also calming.
As a piano player learning how to play this piece, it is amazing to hear how flawlessly Guaraldi was able to play it. This piece has so many different rhythms that are quite difficult to grasp and I know that I am trying my best to do so (slightly succeeding). I would have to say that the most difficult part (in my opinion) would have to be the part that starts at around 1:50. It is so difficult because it is different than the rest of the piece yet it matches so well. I hope that I will be able to play this in a way that I feel Vince would be proud of! What an amazing composer and pianist!
Sorry not 1:50 but 1:05 or so
+cutestpuppiesever That is the most hard part, however putting together at 1:07 is probably harder than it all.
+cutestpuppiesever Good luck Have you tried playing "Little Birdie"?
+Vincent Rose agreed. It's hard to make the two sections flow into eachothers
+toyoscio no but I'll look it up. And thank you
