Thank you!! Merry Christmas!

Thank you! It's such a joy to share my music.

Thanks so much! I don't post very often, so I really appreciate you for following and listening. All the best!

My dear friend, I wish you a wonderful and fulfilling Christmas Season 🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄 Hugs and dear morning greetings from Switzerland, your friend Hans-Peter

Merry Christmas to you too! 💚❤️

Thank you, Mel. It's such a joy to share music when I can!

Thanks, John. It's such a great song, and I love singing it!

Thank you! That's exactly what I've been working on, so I'm glad it came through in your listening. Trying to balance melody and harmony with one cello voice is a challenge, but I love the process. Thanks for listening!

Thanks for listening!

@@NhiPham-it2yk sounds fun! These are all my own arrangements and aren’t written out specifically for cello and voice. I generally start with sheet music or music from a church hymnal. Then I work out the cello lines from there. Hymns are especially good because you can alternately play th bass, tenor, and alto lines for different verses (or combine them) while your singer sings the soprano melody. Wexford Carol is an exception in that there is an arrangement I used by Yo-Yo Ma and Allison Krauss, which you can find online. Good luck!

Thank you!!!

Aaaaand apparently I didn't miss it when it first came out, because when I just loaded up messenger to write to you about this, our last exchange was about this very recording. But wow, it is as exquisite now as I found it then, even if I managed to forget about having heard it!

@@daniellawson321 Haha, I was wondering because I thought maybe we had had a conversation. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it again. It's apparently my second most popular video with over 1000 views, which is interesting. And it's the only time I've ever done that type of video. I clearly had more time back during those pandemic days than I do now! 😃

Oh nice! Thanks for the kind comment. When I was learning this tune, as well as other Scottish fiddle tunes, I tried to listen to a lot of Scottish fiddlers. One of my favorites is Hanneke Cassel. She has a great series of technique videos on Scottish fiddle. I would especially recommend watching ones about the various grace notes in Scottish fiddle tunes. There are a lot, and they are really fun, and give you the opportunity to make the tune your own, but in a very Scottish way. Here's the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLvxdxPB0PG_9SFLTHfwt8Mh99e7i7apsL.html&si=52z38agZPhz_8gcP Good luck!

@@TheSingingCello Thank you so much!

Thank you! It makes me happy to know that anyone is listening and enjoying these videos. 🙂

@@TheSingingCello please make more, I love your music and singing!

Good for you! Yes, that's the challenge of playing fiddle music on the cello-- No E string, so it means shifting up or switching octaves. You could also try playing the whole thing down a string (a fifth down). Good luck!

Thanks! It's such a sweet Christmas carol. 💜

Thank you, Maria! I really appreciate your comment. I don't have any sheet music, as I just played it from the chords. You can find it online and transpose it to any key you like. I like G major. Here it is: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/joni-mitchell/both-sides-now-chords-1140752 Good luck!

Thank you! It's a joy to share music. 💜

Thanks for listening!

Jimmy, that is really sweet of you. I'm touched. I'm grateful to Joni Mitchell for writing this beautiful song.💜

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! I'm always happy to share my music with other musicians especially. Looking forward to checking out your channel too.

Thank you. The cello and I are very old friends, so that makes sense. 🥰
