The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) (Early-Advanced Piano Solo)

2016-03-01 20 Dailymotion

This Christmas favorite was written by Mel Torme and Robert Wells in 1945. This song has been recorded since then by many, many different artists. Just to name a few: Nat King Cole, Julie Andrews, Garth Brooks, Michael Bolton, Chicago, Martina McBride, Christina Aguillera, & Celine Dion. It has also been used in many different movies.\r

I like to play the right hand an octave higher for a portion of the intro and add a G octave at the end of the first line. I also add two Eb6 chords at the end of the song and a low Eb octave. I arpeggiate some of the 9ths that are difficult for me to reach with my small hand.\r

This is the piano/vocal/guitar arrangement so it would work quite well as piano accompaniment for sing-along or a soloist.\r
