A perfect example of a slow, jazzy standard that is beautiful to the ears, not that difficult to play, and suitable for performing as the snow falls outside your window. Bravo!

@@Slashco that went zero to a hundred real fast. I'm not even old, but this kind of music speaks to me, and to you it's just background music. And im sure that it could be the other way around for other genres. end of story i didn't mean to judge you
Most people look forward to Christmas music being played everywhere around this time of year. It’s nothing like getting snowed in and learning a tune like this all day.
i always get myself into a little christmas kick mid-year and decide what piece i’ll learn for christmas each year. i will be learning this one for sure! so soothing thank youuu!!
To those 31 people who have given this arrangement a thumbs down, you all must be miserable people and are so jealous that you haven’t got the talent that Rupert has.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on Our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yule-tide gay From now on Our troubles will be miles away Here we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your arrangements for free. You're a God. As a pianist myself I salute your kindness in sharing quality music to everyone :)
Rupert, thank you so much for publishing this song and all your others. I’m playing several of them for a cocktail party I’m doing this month. Your arrangements are soft and beautiful. Please keep playing and posting your wonderful talent!! Sending you love and success

I've watched your videos for some time now, but I only now realized that they are all collected together in your google drive. And for free. That's amazing. I can't thank you enough. I just downloaded all of them. They're so gorgeous. I truly wish more people in the world were as generous as you are. Thank you.
Note: there are notation errors in bar 31 that remain in the video but are fixed in the music sheet download. Chord symbol for the 3rd chord should be C13. At that point the LH should play D natural (not D flat). Last chord in bar, RH should play B natural (not B flat). Apologies!

Also, measure 36 RH downbeat, bottom note of the chord you play is a G, not the written A. Don't know which is correct, just thought I'd point out that discrepancy in case the sheet music happens to be incorrect.
@@tfpp1 Well spotted. I played G, and that is the intention, but A is in the score. I have fixed the sheet music now. Fortunately A sounds OK in that chord, but G is nicer.
Thanks for this lovely arrangement! I played it this Christmas morning and later heard several people still humming the tune as they went home, with a smile on their face.
Beautiful arrangement, played with sensitivity. Never lost sight of the tune but perked up by unexpected harmonies. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas gift!
I have also arranged this Christmas classic for piano too, and I have to say I adore your arrangement also. It's sophisticated and the pacing is just right.
God bless you, Rupert, for sharing such a beautiful arrangement of this beautiful song. I can't wait to play this later and I know you'll make me sound like a real professional. Your fan, Suzy!
I can play this stuff, but I sure can't generate this internally. So many thanks! It is very instructive to me see it written down because of my composition training. It help align the ear and eye here, and later maybe the mind will inform the ear who will write what it remembers seeing. Cool teaching piece!
Rupert you're an absolute godsend. Just the kind of arrangements I've been searching for for donkey's years. Clear, clever,beautiful and most enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your great talent and for access to your scores. A very much appreciated and most welcome surprise Christmas present. You've made Christmas for me and I mean that.
A very creative arrangement. I myself have always done it in Eb but have seen and or heard arrangements also in C. Your voicings and harmonic progressions are especially interesting and creative in any number of measures and I'd aspire to play like that!
Thank you soo very much Mr. Austin what you do Sir is more than kind !! I'm very very grateful !! I wish you and yours and very Holiday season !! Teddy Korbos!!
I recently found some of your arragements for jazz favorites and they’re all so incredible! Thank you for making them free and so accessible, will definitely be subscribing!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful arrangements. I love playing this piece so much and I’m sure my students will as well. Thank you again and Merry Christmas. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Wow, a day to remember, I just discovered you. Fantastic, the arrangements, the playing, the generousity to make this all available, it's great! I subscribed and got behind my piano, having a Ball! ❤️🙏🙏🌹
You are a most generous soul to share your talent with us mere mortals- thank you.
YES!!! I love your arrangements...so good! And free. God bless you and thank you for sharing!!!
I hope you will do more Christmas songs..please!!!
@@pianosenzanima1 Same!!!!
A perfect example of a slow, jazzy standard that is beautiful to the ears, not that difficult to play, and suitable for performing as the snow falls outside your window. Bravo!
I can imagine this being played in the lobby of a fancy hotel around Christmas.
That's sad...
Ah yes, Jazz=hotel and restaurants, as always

Why i read this comment everywhere?
So nice, so smooth!
I really appreciate your arrangements and the fact you share your sheets, I love working on it
Many thanks
Great to hear from people who play my arrangements for themselves.
The juiciness of all of these chords and progressions is fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed the juiciness!
Another reason to look forward to Christmas - so I can play your arrangements!
Most people look forward to Christmas music being played everywhere around this time of year.
It’s nothing like getting snowed in and learning a tune like this all day.
1:49 Onward was so gorgeous. I was not expecting those chords
Glad you enjoyed some Christmas spice!
That's the beauty of Jazz
The most perfect transcription...jazzy, dreamy, absolute calm. Adorable
i always get myself into a little christmas kick mid-year and decide what piece i’ll learn for christmas each year. i will be learning this one for sure! so soothing thank youuu!!
Hope you enjoy learning it! Merry Christmas!!!!

Lovely to hear that you enjoy playing some of these pieces yourself. Do I get an invite to your cocktail party?!?!
Well, I think next year you come to one of my gigs playing your arrangements and then I get to see you play them live! That would be a lot of fun :).
I just finished this in time for Christmas! Ready to play it for a Christmas Eve party.
Well done! Enjoy the party.
Aye!!! I was looking for a Christmas jazz piano! Just finished autumn leaves ! So perfect ! Thank u Rupert
Great hear that. Hope you enjoy playing it
I don’t care if it is the 1st of July, I’m loving listening to this stunning arrangement! 👍🙂
Sharing all these excellent arrangements is an incredible generosity! Thank you very much!

Minor quibble: Also in bar 31, second chord LH should be C flat (not B natural) because it is a D flat 13.
Also, measure 36 RH downbeat, bottom note of the chord you play is a G, not the written A. Don't know which is correct, just thought I'd point out that discrepancy in case the sheet music happens to be incorrect.

So tender, so bright, so clear and peaceful... the best mood for Xmas. Thank you

Thank you very much, dear Rupert! Please more arrangements 🎹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Thank you. There will be more when I get some time. I have a few half finished pieces that I hope to complete.
Beautifully played and arranged. Great clear voicings with thoughtful improv. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful arrangement, played with sensitivity. Never lost sight of the tune but perked up by unexpected harmonies. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas gift!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
