Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Let's hear some Christmas/Holiday music. (ABF performances )

That was great Rob! On your other recordings, it sounded like your piano was a real acoustic; that digital sure did sound good though, and your playing was superb!

Elssa, your music was delightful! I enjoyed it much!

In fact, all the submissions here were great!

Take care,

Rick

Rob - I can't say evoked bleak winter for me - more like sleepy kids dozing off after a day of sledding and building snowmen Very nice.

Cathy

Love it Rob. Your playing is always a pleasure to hear.

Thanks all, for your kind comments! Barb, I loved your "Silver Bells" - very pretty arrangement!

Well, got 3 inches of snow here over the weekend, so feeling even more christmasy now. Here's one more - something I think isn't too well known:

Rob, I loved your "..Bleak MidWinter"! I have a sheet to this, but it's not nearly as nice as the one you posted.

Elssa, loved Christmas Waltz, too!

THIS IS A GREAT THREAD!! More, more!

Wow, you folks are going all out for Christmas this year! I have to say I've listened to everyon'e pieces, and they are all terrific. And, Elssa, I do know The Christmas Waltz and I play it. Not as well as you do, though. I want to sing now . . . "It's that time of year when the world falls in love. Every song you hear seems to say Merry Christmas . . . etc."

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments.

I am loving everyone's contributions on here.
Such amazing talent and diversity of music!

I love all Christmas music. It takes me back to my childhood, playing piano/harmonium in the small freezing chapel, in my native Wales.
Many fond memories.

Keep 'em coming :-)

Rob,
I enjoyed your "In The Bleak Mid Winter" Very pretty!

Here is an old standard.

What Child is This

Carl - What Child is This is really sweet - played very sensitivly.

Cathy

Rob, your "Bleak Mid Winter" was gorgeous. "Bleak" is not an appropriate adjective at all, I agree. "Serene" fits the atmosphere of the piece much better.

Carl, "What child is this?" has always been one of my favorite carols. (And it's nice it can pull double duty on off months as "Greensleeves"! ) I enjoyed your playing... the flourish at the end was especially pretty. But it was too short. You can always play it twice through for the extra verse(s).

I took a half hour study break today and spliced this together. Violin and piano duet by myself. I was sight reading both instruments so it's definitely not my best playing, but lots of fun!
Away in a manger

Very nice Frozenicicles! i enjoyed it. Rob, it was a pretty song to listen to and u did a nice job playing it and Elssa nice playing on yours too!

Frozenicicles - that made me smile. The wonders of modern technology. I liked it a lot.

Cathy

Thanks for the kind words! I would probably get laughed out of town if I posted this on a violin forum.

Carl, really nice Greensleeves! Your piano sounds SO nice!

Frozenicicles, very cool! And done on a half-hour study break?! It made my evening.

CMohr - very nice Christmas tune - well played!

JF

ROB - simply beautiful! One of the prettiest of the little known Christmas songs - and so lovingly played!

JF

Elssa - Nice job! I love your arrangement of this song.

Frozenicicles- You are multi-talented. Nice.
