What Child Is This / O Holy Night Medley - Piano - Carlton Forrester

[cpia2002]

Awesome :) Did that take you long to put together?

I have just started posting piano vids, and my first one - 100 songs in a piano medley i had so much fun making!

Its 100 piano and keyboard songs from rock and pop in one video - with a music quiz as well to test your knowledge.

Im from Scotland and the UK and am quite new to this so would love you to check out the video and see what you think

If you like please subscribe and like and will do the same for you :)

I wish I could play the piano like that. I took lessons when I was 12 years old. That lasted about4 lessons and the instructor told me my fingers were to big . I couldn't keep enough seperation from the strings. Bummer.

[CRAZYHORSE091]

This is so very beautiful. I agree with you that we do need to hear more of the songs and reason that Christmas is the season. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior....LORD OF ALL ....LORDS. KING OF KINGS ! In the End, HE Only Will RULE !

Thank You and many blessings of peace and protection!

[Americanjazzlady]

This is very beautiful. We need to hear this now and remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. We need Him more now than ever in America and all around the whole world.. I pray for peace, love, and ask for HIS protection with everything that is going on. Shalom, peace, blessings to all in Jesus' Name.

I had to write to express my admiration. . . To made things even more dramatic for me your medley combined my two most favorite Christmas songs ever - What Child Is This and O Holy Night. I had never heard them together. Thank you so much for this magnificent performance. God bless you.

[DunderMiffScranton]

There are just some videos where it seems impossible that one could unlike it, but i guess two people already have. Why? Maybe they missed the like button or something.

[petik45]

This is something wonderful. Could you send me the sheet music for this song? You're the only one I've heard this so beautifully played, and I very much wanted to play it. I play it about 12 years and this is absolutely amazing. I would be very grateful to you... really much... please....

[OfficialSilentVoice]

I watched the whole video...I respect you sir as a pianist. That was absolutely marvelous.

[captainpicard321]

I commented earlier, but I keep returning to this video because.... It really is a BRILLIANT arrangement !!!

I know these are both obviously "well-known" Christmas pieces, but how long did it take you to write this (the parts like the intro) and how did you know to use these 2 songs (is it just a matter of going from Amin to Amaj (and then back to Amin in the ending) ? Any chance you could author another Christmas medley (like this one)?

Thanks again and excellent job!

[GregoryD57]

Great Job ! So when does the album come out? I would buy it. God has given you a great gift, I pray you use it for His Glory ! Blessing's to you as you have blessed me.

[susan21869]

[stefevr]

An absolutely flawless performance! I have to pick up my jaw off the floor xD

I'm using truepianos VST but with an old synthesizer and I get some latency. Would you recommend using Ivory instead, or would you say I should buy a midi keyboard to avoid any latency?

Again amazing performance, I really enjoy watching you play

Absolutely fantastic!!! You totally captured what each of those 2 christmas carols mean to me. You captured the gentleness and passion, the strength and swells. It is so beautiful! I love how you made the "fall on your knees" part loud. That's the way I love it, but most people don't do it like that.

[cafo1972]

@meandcinderellaful Thank you! The "fall on your knees" part of O Holy Night has always been my favorite part of the song. Powerful and inspiring.

I have the same key board, but oddly enough - I don't have the same talent.
