I did not use any sheet music in learning this piece. It has just evolved over the past few decades as part of my play list. You are most welcome to copy or modify any interpretation I may have made from this tune. I play it a little differently now, and start the slower section with the verse instead. Maybe one day I will post the newer version.
I made sheet music to this interpretation, did you learn it from sheet music, or it's just an improvisation? Would you mind if I borrow this tune and make my own interpretation?
by far you're the best piano player i've seen on youtube and this song is truly beautiful but i cant find the notes to it :( so if anyone could tell me where to find the sheets it would be greatly appreciated :]
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina who plays the piano and organ. There is an Advent hymn in Evangelical Lutheran Worship, Light One Candle to Watch for Messiah, written by Wayne L. Wold, and set to a Yiddish folk tune, TIF IN VELDELE. Just thought I'd share.
I'm not sure where you might buy the music. It is likely in folios somewhere. The tune is simple and uses only three chords. (A minor, E7 and D min for the chorus with an additional B7 for the first section. I add an F7 for dramatic effect in one place). The basic tune is played fairly straight first time through the chorus, which can be seen on the video. The rest is improvised, firstly going down an octave, then back to the original octave, then up even higher. It mostly comes from my head
Thank you for the comment. You are right about the sound of the piano, which is small and therefore has a small sound board with not much oomph. However, it is all I have at the moment.
In addition, I found that the gain on the microphone I was using was set too high, so the sound is rather saturated. I have a better sounding version available as an MP3 file with the gain set correctly. If you are interested in this, let me know by email and I will try to send it to you.
its amazing

nice.
Although I kind of don't like how the super low register on the piano sounds.

I think that deep base is what makes it so unique - I love that. Watch that hand fly!
