  • December is my favorite album! Has been for many years..when I listen to it it puts me in a higher place and my heart & mind soars. George Winston is a great musical artist. This video is put together very nicely and is a great tribute to his work..thank you.

  • Wonderful..!

  • Boy,are you in for a wonderful treat!

  • Never too late to learn something new. I have never heard of George Winston before now.

  • feel so nice!!

  • yehhhhhhh. Here is Australia December isn't exactly a snowy time...

  • December song search here Found this!! pleasant is this!!

  • Sooo Beautiful~~~*

  • I used to listen to this album everyday when I worked in a day care in the 90's. It would sooth the children and calm everyone down. I have very fond memories of George's music and will forever be grateful for his precious gift to us all.

  • When I was little I used to listen to this song with my dad. Haven't heard it in a while but thank you George for showing the beauty of December that you captured in this song. <3

  • um, i know that joy is one of the songs but what is the other?

  • @FiggThe3rd  The Holly and the Ivy.

  • @FiggThe3rd The two pieces are "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "The Holly and the Ivy".

  • maravilloso, sencillo, unico!!!

  • has winston passed away?

  • I love George Winston's music & have for over 20 years. It helped me when I helped my mother 16 years ago when she was dying of cancer. He played at the nursing home she was in 4 months before she died. I was so happy we were able to share that moment together, we both loved George's music. And now it's helping me again while helping my only brother during his last few weeks of life, he's dying of cancer also. His music helps to strengthen & calm your inner peace when you need to stay strong.

  • @crwinters13 - That's very touching to share. I will try and learn from your experience and seek inner peace when I am troubled.

    Peace & Love to all.

  • Thank you for the video! George winston has been an inspiration in my life scince I was a child. At 35, I finally bought a piano and hope to be blessed enough to play his music.

  • Never has a December or Christmas season gone by without me playing this beautifully enduring composition. The entire album is a a treasure.

  • My mother used to listen to this song all the time when I was a squirt. I remember seeing him in concert with my mother when I was seven years old and seeing him stroll out barefoot in a T-shirt and blue jeans. It was so different from the typical tuxedo-clad snob image you see in the media that it stuck with me so vividly.

  • I love George WInston....this is one of my very favorites. I listen to one of his songs at least once a day EVERY day in my car.  I love "Snow" - can't wait to see him again in December )

  • GEORGE WINSTON Music make a good memories to me . Thanks to share......

  • My father use to play George Winston all the time, what beautiful memories his music has given to my life. Brilliant and relieving to the mind and heart. My dream is to see him play live one day I don't know if I will ever see him beautiful and amazing man.

  • I second that , I met him at Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit some years back ,George is lives his music and as often gave free concerts to people who are shut ins and vet groups , Thank you George for your positive influence and gift

  • This reminds me of Joy Of Man :)

  • Extraordinary talent!!I love this guy!

  • This reminds me of someone from long ago. Kami you're still in my heart and you always will be.

  • L.A. sucks!

  • I think of you, meg, when i hear this! HI! a.p.g.

  • Thanks all for sharing your beautiful comments, reading them, and listening to the genius of George Winston, I have had a great night.

  • Comment removed

  • When I hear what song is great.

  • i love "thanksgiving" so much emotion in there. really turned me on to him as a pianist. if anyone is interested i'd love feedback on my music as well in my channel. :-)

  • gracias por este maravilloso vídeo

  • GW is a national treasure.

  • Thank you, this is a beautiful gift of truth.

  • awesome, just beautiful music

  • omg ... what a beautiful video ... almost as beautiful as the music ... which is my absolute favorite medley

    your photography is spectacular ... a high rez version would be nice

    I play many Windham Hill songs, but not GW because he doesn't publish his songs. :( I play by reading, not ear, so I just do without playing his songs.

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS GEORGE WINSTON. we have met several times and you are such a great man

  • Beautiful--and an inspiration for my own solo piano album.

  • t wish i could be listening to this with a woman i love,but lives too far away.she likes this just as much as me....

  • A soothing song for the winter months. Such a melodic piece.

  • so long

  • @PICKLEPO1 Nothing wrong with that.

  • Beautiful!

  • "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." (Psalm 150:6)

    "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it..." (Psalm 24:1)

  • @caycug1 Its actually let everything that HATH breath ... if we want to get into semantics the latin would be vinni vitti vici! LOL hopefully you get it

  • @caycug1 Lol so basically what you're saying is that if you praise this god of yours then you can be his slave?

    Cool story bro.

  • @NamdoowRovert Why are you bitter towards God? Did He do something that you don't like? I understand how you feel. But it is better to go along with His plan rather than to be angry at Him. He is Lord of all creation, so your pretty much stuck with Him. He is a good God, so seek Him out . He has good plans for you.

  • @caycug1 That's amazing that you put so much devotion into a god that does not exist. When has he helped anyone? By 'sending a flood'? Hahahaha, indeed, help.

    So he hasn't showed his face for, oh, how long? I've lost count.

    And what about this bible of yours? Pieces of paper supposedly written by whom? A multitude of different persons? How would that have worked? Don't you think that most of that information could be flawed?

    You do realize your entire religion is based on ONE BOOK, right?

  • @NamdoowRovert I hope you find Him someday.

  • what the F ? this's absolutely amazing......Does anyone agree with me ???

  • ♥♥♥ very beautiful

  • "Joy" was played at my wedding - 16 years ago - discovered the December album a few years before and thought it was the most beautiful piece of music I had ever heard. Thanksgiving blessings to all :)

  • The chuck norris of pianists

  • Amazing =)

  • winter....the soft silky blankets of snow falls on the ground and covers the lushious grass blades.....

  • :' )

  • This song makes me like winter that much more...

  • George Winston thank you for your music

  • Hey, that was "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" in there!!! Love that song!

  • I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Winston in concert earlier tonight...a once-in-a-lifetime talent. The second song in his playlist was "Rain", and it was even more haunting live. It almost had me in tears!

  • holy crap, this also has the Holly & the Ivy, man, love that, it's like uncontrollable joy in a song.

  • A musical treatise of love,which pervades the universe.

  • His music is simply poetry! What a talent.

  • Where is the credit to Bach?

  • Wonderfully done. A true tribute to Mr. Winston.

  • Beautiful... ♥

  • Decemeber catches the joy, the feeling of everything that is so special about the month...words are not necessary when you have George Winston on the Piano...he is a master!!!

  • It's my favorite album.

  • classic and beautiful....George is a maestro with feeling and depth

    thank you for sharing

    Gary :--)

  • Actually the first one is an arrangement of Bach's Joy of Man's Desiring BWV 147

  • Increiblemente atemporal.

  • just loved it xx

  • I found a cassette in a car and played it and loved it.

  • this is simply amazing! it is wonderful how the songs really put your feelings into music.

  • Great!!

  • tranquil, soothing, thought provoking...i like it.

  • well no, that's the title of the album. this track has two songs from that album - first is "Joy" and the next is "The holly and the Ivy" neither pieces are Winston's original - they're public domain songs, but Winston did his own makes of them.

  • Whats the name of the song?

  • Can you read the title of song above? December??? Thats the name...

  • why isnt he famous as Yiruma i just dont get it..

  • ru kidding? he is so famous -_-

  • my emotion just suddenly changed when i heard even the first few bars of this piece. it i so lovely hearing such a song like this one. i just loved it. thanx for uploading.

  • One of the greatest musicians of our time!

  • I heard George Winston play while I was in college. I was just overcome. GW said something that was quite profound, he said that a concert pianist such as himself does not practice for the applause, but for the sheer love of the piano, and occasional concerts and applause are just "icing on the cake." You can hear his passion in his music. Such a gifted man!

  • Beautiful!!

  • I found this cd in a rental car...loved it!

  • Awesome video.

  • Still is one of my favorite Christmas CD's and George Winston is still one of my faves as well

  • Totally agree. Awesome music.

    The Cantata Version competes with the original. Even though we're in summer in the southern hemisphere, this music really embodies de christmas -the love- spirit.

    Thanks for the post.

  • Just beautiful and beautiful!

  • prelepa muzika...

  • I found one of these cassettes in a rental car...loved it! Had never heard it before. So glad to know others like it too!

  • Beautiful music and a great video tribute!

  • Beautiful¡¡¡

  • me encanta ese video

  • exelente video!

  • George is such a genuine person. I am proud to say I have met him and he is so very giving. He still gives to the local food banks I believe of every city he goes. Bless You George. Nathan , Son of Ron.

  • Nathan, Son of Ron? What is this, Lord of the Rings? "Aragorn, son of Arathorn"

  • @SnackPatrol lol

  • Piano is one instrument that can do things no other can in the right hands.  This is beautiful!

  • This album along with Winter Solstice brings back great memories of Christmas past when we were newlyweds in the 1980s. Makes me want to drink egg nog or hot chocolate.

  • This piece is very neat and beautiful. It makes you feel like it is winter outside.

  • touching; as a kid my parents would play this album around christmas-time, when it was cold outside and the wood stove was going strong. what a warm feeling.

  • pure beauty. thank you.

  • Did you notice that the first song is an arrangement of Bach's Choral "Jesu bleibet meine Freude" ?!

  • wait, this is joy, not holy an the ivy..

  • Comment removed

    The man who makes a piano sing!

  • @ca4546 - you got that right, George is quite amazing.

  • gorgeous, bravissimo! thx U

  • This is not "The Holly and the Ivy." This is "Joy."

  • Thank you for posting!  Beautiful images.

  • Man. I had three seconds of this song in my head 5:19 - 5:22 and I searched and searched and suddenly I thought "Something that beautiful has to be George Winston" and I finally have been reunited with this beautiful song.

    By far my favorite.

    Thanks, George.

  • yeah, that's quite an amazing section..

  • i like this version of bach`s Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire that Winston plays most of all the versions i have ever heard

  • Winter is my second favorite season, this piece is so relaxing. Winston shall always be one of my faves.

  • listen to yiruma mengggg

  • yiruma is a good pianist, however in my books they don't reach george winstons class by far

  • The first part It's a variation of Cantata 147

    by Johann Sebastian Bach.

    It's wonderful

  • very pretty, i love the piece JOY

  • I love George Winston; an amazingly gifted pianist.

  • Is this an actual song, or just a bunch or songs mixed together?

  • its two songs one after the other. "joy" and "the holly and the ivy"

  • very beautiful, almost poetic

  • what a sweet melody !

  • He is not dead is he, i hope not because hes an amazing pianist

  • No he's not dead...I was thrilled to have him come to our town to play a concert. I had a friend in high school that used to say, "my mom is dating George Winston" Everyone thought..."uh huh, yeah right." So, here we are at his concert, we're invited backstage, who do I see sitting there?....the girl from my high school days & her mom~I was speechless. Goes to show you anything is possible. I was fortunate enough to meet him, obtain autographs, & a picture with him~he is more than alive! :)

  • Lisa Daae que lindo saber que George Winston está más que vivo realmente me alegra que lo hayas conocido y compartido ese concierto. Yo ahora escucho su musica y mi alma se regocija. Abrazos a la distancia

  • That's crazy!! I wish my mom was dating him:)

  • Oh my gosh.... I have to tell you that you're one lucky person and I'm a bit jealous. Love George Winston and always have. How cool that you got to meet him, that is just so amazing.
