You are a most generous soul to share your talent with us mere mortals- thank you.

[@Slashco]

I can imagine this being played in the lobby of a fancy hotel around Christmas.

[@silviuvalentindumitrache6837]

That's sad...

[@AntonStruzik]

Ah yes, Jazz=hotel and restaurants, as always

[@Slashco]

@@AntonStruzik It could also be a club for pretentious old farts who think they're better and smarter than those sheep who listen to mainstream music, if it's more your thing.

[@AntonStruzik]

@@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

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!

[@caitlinhsu9074]

1:49 Onward was so gorgeous. I was not expecting those chords

Great to hear from people who play my arrangements for themselves.

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.

[@ryanlyle9201]

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.

[@brandonwilliams7521]

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

[@jezt42]

I don’t care if it is the 1st of July, I’m loving listening to this stunning arrangement! 👍🙂

[@InfernalPasquale]

Another reason to look forward to Christmas - so I can play your arrangements!

I just finished this in time for Christmas! Ready to play it for a Christmas Eve party.

[@rupertaustin]

Well done! Enjoy the party.

[@musicalessence3936]

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

[@rupertaustin]

Lovely to hear that you enjoy playing some of these pieces yourself. Do I get an invite to your cocktail party?!?!

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!

[@Woodcut60]

Minor quibble: Also in bar 31, second chord LH should be C flat (not B natural) because it is a D flat 13.

[@tfpp1]

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.

[@rupertaustin]

@@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.

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!
