A Little Christmas Music

Posted by Jarrett on December 25th, 2008

I didn’t bother to hook up a proper mic, so the sound is a little low-fi.

But I did put on pants, being that it’s a special occasion and all.

The three songs in this medley are Christmas Time is Here by Vince Guaraldi, Jingle Bells, and of course, Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton.

Merry Christmas!

Notice the Christmas tree lights’ reflection on the piano. Artsy.

I never realized how beautiful Chiron Beta Prime could sound. I always loved “Christmas time is here” on a piano..pianos make everything sound so classy and beautiful!

Nicely done Jarrett – and thanks for the excellent Coulton medley :D

This cheered me up while i was faced with the insane prospect of finishing a big paper without getting sleep.

After hearing the medley (which I’ve heard several times the last couple of weeks) and this – I truely believe you capture some of the beauty of the coulton’s melodies that may be lost in his own renditions; while contributing with your own touches (of course :) )

I’ve always had a softspot for the piano; but I never managed to get very good at reading notes; and inferior motorics felt demotivating. Today I do graphics; but my fallback plan – should my eyes fail – is the piano.. Course I’d have to learn to play again :D

Props

Thanks for posting. I think this will be lovely to have for the holiday season, although I wish there were a CD version available!
