[lancelot1953]

Thank you for taking the time to upload this soothing timeless "make-you-feel-good" melody from Vince Guaraldi's Trio. It brings back many memories from my innocent and naive days watching Charlie Brown specials on TV.

Ciao,

Two people can't skate



[CaliforniaGuy88]

this makes me think of a cold and bright sunny winter morning.

[elkinsinboxinc]

This should have been on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

[ATY9Productions]

[elvaelvirababe]

This one's my favorite off the album. Wish it was longer.

[1957thack]

What a treasure! I grew up with this beautiful music 45 years ago!

[kaythrine87]

I live in Chicago. It's snowing right now.

[Erniethecatisawesom]

Damn, I wanna build a snow fort now! Stupid Chicago and its lack of snow! I mean we are the snowy capital of the midwest!

WOnderful



[cochranexyz]

Can anyone name anything similar to this soundtrack created recently? In the last 5, 10, 20, 30 years??? I am having a hard time, but I am very tired at the moment...

[smichelle65]

@cochranexyz "A Sheffield Christmas Collection" (ca. 1993) is one of my favorites, and very similar to this. Search "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen A Sheffield Christmas" on youtube.

[cochranexyz]

@smichelle65 Ah, thank you! Will check that out.

[ejuke]

@smichelle65 Just looked it up and listened to it. Well done - thanks for the suggestion.

[rjbcosio]

[bittercoffee2]

Man. This song makes me want to go shopping.

[MrIce38]

@bittercoffee2

Dude, shopping? Thats the LAST thing i'd ever do to this song.

[haastaboozia]

[ebonygentleman79]

The intro almost fooled me into thinking this was The Sims!

[petey815]

@ebonygentleman79 Haha, I was thinking the same thing.

[jmcieslak0]

@ebonygentleman79 They do sound similar! A lot of The Sims music also has a great jazzy-Christmas quality to it.

[doc2skate]

Everytime I hear this I remember buying that "real" Christmas tree with my dad and brothers. When we returned home "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was on the t.v.

[prbbelt]

I've been trying my best to learn the improvised solo part by hear but i miss the middle of it lol

[MrMacintash]

1 person is obviously...the grinch.

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

One person fell through thin ice, lol

[alvizuet]

christmas time is here... in 7 hours and 31 minutes!!!!!

[StolasLV]

This reminds me of The Sims.

[goldpet66]

There are so many things going on in this truly complex, hauntingly lovely song.. It's jazz, it's a waltz, there's a little touch of country in it, and so much more... I cannot listen to this song and not help feeling happy :-)

[stevefromPA2]

@goldpet66 This song is better than the 2 pills I take for highblood pressure...

[goldpet66]

@stevefromPA2 True that!!

[irish89055]

@stevefromPA2 some many gems on youtube that are so good for one's blood pressure.... ahhhhhhh

[japanesepoptart]

This man was a true genius. It's so sad his life was cut so short. May he live on in all our hearts...

[creamcheeseandonions]

This is literally one of my favorite songs of all time.

[msbmteam]

I still don't understand this. How can one person dislike such a festive holiday tune? Is it because there is no video playing? Did he not like the tiny mistake in the solo at 1:17? I actually think that the mistake at 1:17 makes the solo sound better. Did he dislike the album art? I still don't understand. No matter how good the video, there will ALWAYS be that idiot who presses the dislike button.

[PaulGreen11]

@msbmteam The Grinch lives.

[lotrfan771]

@msbmteam eh, it was probably just the red baron....

[strigla22]

One person didn't get skates from Santa:-(

[Mulsanne917flatout]

Still my favorite tune of all time. :D Just fantastic stuff, this!

[metube925]

Charlie brown can be danced to any time because its special

[TSfan217]

Oh, I love this song and Charlie Brown. I usually like a diff. type of Jazz music, but this is gr8! :D

[cowboyzsuk81]

this music will NEVER get old..no matter how commercialized the christmas season gets, this music will always bring memories of my childhood back to me..its such a tradition. i love charlie brown, and vince guaraldi 

[majorfriends6]

omg hav to play this part in band.... way harder then it seems...........

[Multi80schick]

Great technique. Jazz piano is harder than hell to play, though...

[MelodiesPureandTruex]

I only know about this because of my dad. xD

[Paramorerocks4u]

Playing this in the winter concert in band (: along with Linus and Lucy, Christmas Time is Here, and O Christmas tree (:

[majorfriends6]

@Paramorerocks4u same here!

[SakunuX824]

Is their anyone that has the music sheet to this? if so Message me please i want to learn this so bad.

[MrCalculus999]

thats it my boy tickle those ivories

[coheed0211]

@mcfcbeast

How selfish to talk about yourself while such great music is playing.

[mcfcbeast]

@coheed0211 sorry mate i was hacked

[HookedOnSonics518]

This song is great to listen to all year round!

[RadarFilms1]

This song is actually a lot easier than it sounds; lots of repeats, and the same tune is played over and over. The only thing that is difficult is the beginning, when the rhythm is a bit harder to play. Love this piece :)

[412light]

@RadarFilms1 um.. do you have any clue what you are talking about?! This piece is really hard to play.. I myself have been playing piano for 12 years, and if you call the jazzy solo in the middle NOT hard... then you have something wrong with you... but yes, I do agree the rhythm at the beginning was harder for me to learn.. but DON'T ever say that a song is easier than it sounds.. because its not...

[RadarFilms1]

@412light I was able to cover this song in about three weeks, but I suppose it depends on who is playing and how often you practice it. I've been playing piano for only six years myself, but I didn't have as much trouble with this piece as I have had for others. Again, it depends on the person. In MY personal opinion, it is easier than it sounds. For you, it may be harder to play, but this is definitely not one of the more difficult pieces out there.

[412light]

@RadarFilms1 It depends on what sheet music you're learning. I learned this song in a week (excluding the jazzy piano solo) because there was none in there :( (dumb online sheet music store) so yes, I agree that it isn't one of the hardest pieces, but it isn't a song you can pick up easily in a day (unless you are a piano master)

[Diomedes22]

@412light what do you mean jazzy solo in the middle? the whole thing is pure jazz. guaraldi was a jazz artist.

[412light]

@Diomedes22 Yep, that jazzy improv part in the middle... its really too bad they dont have sheet music for it out there :/

[goddamnitjohn]

@412light I know for a fact I use to have the sheet music for this. It was in a vince g. music book. Try amazon.

[tarinciaraemily]

I have to learn this on piano in 4 days. WOO.

[snapofginger]

@tarinciaraemily well... how did it go? :D

[stockinettestitch]

@tarinciaraemily Were you able to learn this in time?

[thegamegorilla]

@tarinciaraemily Have fun.

[gumballanddarwin3]

@tarinciaraemily i already did. ☺

[rgv7]

Vince was a master! Thanks for uploading.
