Hello Merry Christmas, I am looking to get the score to the Peanuts theme song, dont know the official name, but you all hear it , the jazzy piano tune by that jazz composer forgot his name. Vince G or something.
Is this public domain or do I have to pay for it? thanks.

It's called "Linus and Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi, and I do not believe it public domain at this point - you'll probably have to pay for it. There's a decent arrangement by Hal Leonard (I think - I'll have to double-check that).
What you are is an accident of birth. What I am, I am through my own efforts. There have been a thousand princes and there will be a thousand more. There is one Beethoven.

Hi briiian13, the name of the piece is "Linus and Lucy." There are several arrangements floating around, but the original is in A-flat. It's still copyright protected, but you can buy the single piece at places like SheetMusicPlus for only $3.95. Not a bad price for a classic to add to your repertoire. I tried to learn it myself a while back, but never really got the first part smooth and fell to pieces on the discordant jazzy bridge. But it's in my "I'll learn this one of these days" pile.

thank you everyone and thanks for the link.
yes, this tune seems simple enough but i think i am forseeing a difficulty in timing the left and right hands as they go by different rythyms.
i am very interested in playing this as i have an interest now to add some lively fun songs to entertain my little nephews with. i want to be their favorite uncle when they grow up saying, "my uncle always played the piano for us, especially that peanuts song, WHY??"

I have my own weapon of mass destruction in the form of a "teenage" German Shepherd. Anything she spies and can get ahold of is fair game.

Hey...that's my line...when ever I play it, kids ALWAYS comment...'hey, that's Charlie Brown' I have the first part down pretty good, but like Monica, I just haven't spent the time to nail the jazzy parts. Good Luck

that is when you slam your fists down onto the keys and yell at the kids, "NO! Linus and Lucy! git it right!!" just kidding. i checked out that sheetsmusic site and it seems like even though the score is cheap (3.95) they want me to pay shipping which will in that case dont make it worth while. is there a site where i can pay online and then they can just email me the score? thanks.

You can get a digital version here: digital version of linus and lucy I've used them before and it works well. Only thing is you have to download something called Scorch first to let you see and print the music. It's not a big deal (it's free, and they tell you how to do it on the site), but it's just an extra step.

wow, thanks Monica. i just bought it and now i have downloaded and printed it out.
I cannot wait until i get home to play this!!! plus i have a couple of pairs of shoes fedexed to me today from a dept. store, so i am doubly anxious to leave work now.
i am looking over the score and it looks to be so far as close as to the original Vince score as possible. i hope it is, i dont want an abridged or simplified version.
i can foresee myself staying up all night playing this, thanks again!

wow, yeah i agree.
i mean, either pay 3 dollars for ground shipping which you will have to wait a week or so,
OR
pay 1 extra dollar and you get it in your hands now!
this is great! i mean, i know i dont get the extra book binding and such, but i dont care about that , just give me the score.

briiian13, A few days ago we exchanged thoughts on "Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata". I believe that I had not yet received my recorder so had not recorded it (Duh!). If you'd like to hear my version, I just posted a link on the thread of the same name that you started. G-luck.
Monica, You are a hoot, trip, delight...whatever.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

That has to be one of the greatest songs ever. I just odered Winstons Linus and Lucy Album and it is excellent. Mr. Hunky, is that you playing? Sounds nice.

Yes.
Can't you tell?, lots of "pops" and "clicks" and the volume must be turned WAY up just to hear it!
I am the recording anti-genius!!. If theres any way to screw up a recording, rest assured, I'll find it!
