The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) by Mel Torme Piano Solo - Digital Sheet Music
By Mel TormeThe Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) for Advanced Piano SoloThis Christmas classic has music and lyrics by Mel Torme and Robert Wells. I have always loved this piece--it brings the spirit of all the good things that the season can bring! There is a reason why there are so many arrangements of this piece--it has a beautiful melody and invites oodles of creativeness when it comes to the harmony and arranging.This arrangement is a challenging jazz piece that is played freely, with rubato. Challenges include jazzy runs, two against three rhythms, accelerandos and ritardandos, and should be played with great feeling and expression.Feel free to pause where you want to spend a little more time, or where you want your audience to enjoy some different harmonies. Take your time learning the fast runs--there are patterns to discover! Work out a fingering that works for you.YouTube video is available at: https://youtu.be/XE3Tbdzh2eUYou can see this piece (and others) on my YouTube Channel, "the-piano-studio.com", or visit me at www.the-piano-studio.comEnjoy!
