It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Cathy, Rickster, Monica, Angelojf, and Carl: Thanks for your lovely performances! I've my sight reading my way through some Christmas carols lately, but nothing up to performance standard. Edit: Listening to yours as well, Morodiene.
That's beautiful, Peyton. I don't remember the old title, but I know I like this one. It should be out there receiving radio time.
p.s. What is the musical term for that tinkle-tinkle-tinkle thing you do down the keyboard a couple of times, for instance, right at the end of the song? It's not really an arpeggio is it, as it sounds like you're alternating a high-low, high-low pattern of chord notes, rather than 3? Whatever it is, I like it.

I think you'd just call them broken 6ths or whatever interval.

Thanks! That sounds ever so much more knowledgeable than "that tinkle tinkle thing."
Morodiene - lovely. I liked the arrangement because it didn't lose the melody. You played it beautifully.

It's not called a waggle, hunh? Guess I'll have to change my nomenclature :\
But I really like the way your piano playing complements the song, Peyton - the fills have just the right kind of poignancy, and they're timed well. Thanks for the tune.

Perhaps "more music" is always the answer, no matter what the question might be! - Qwerty53
I'm still a piano beginner, so the only spicing up I could really accomplish is adding some basic guitar, a few "ahhhhs" from my keyboard, and some amazing images from the Hubble telescope. :-)
I loved it, Ben! What a wonderful combination, and a great arrangement. I love the creativity - make what you can do work - and this was pro Beautiful.

My submittal is a very simple arrangement of O Come, O come, Emmanuel. I am drawn to the bell like quality of this one and it is one of my all time Christmas favorites.
Very nicely done Carl - I really like the way you "paced" this lovely Carol - plenty of "breathing room" in there making it very listenable. You left me wanting more...

I like "tinkle, tinkle, tinkle thing". I was anguishing over a name for the song... that might of worked..
It's real simple. Aflat (thumb)/Eflat (4th finger)..A (thumb) Bflat (2nd finger)... F/Bflat... Eflat/Bflat... Dflat (thumb) Eflat (2nd finger)... C/Eflat...Bflat/Eflat...Aflat/Eflat. Then repeat continuing down. I have done it with a more complicated pattern but in the end this seemed to say what I needed.
Many thanks all for the compliments! I've been thinking about this song and the "Christmas tune" thread we have here every year but still got caught by surprise thinking December had to be at least another two months off....
