5.0 out of 5 stars The Charlie Brown Experience, December 14, 1999

By 

Adrian Logan (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Charlie Brown Christmas (Paperback)

I have been a fan of the Charlie Brown comic strip for years. I am an accompished pianist, and still enjoy this great score by Vince Guaraldi. The skating song, with it's unique fun triplets give me the feeling of ice skating on a brisk winters day. His rendition of O'Tannenbaum is also one of the best jazz numbers blended with the classic recipe to give it a splendid zest. This work is a must have for any musician's collection. I sincerley thank Vince Guaraldi and Charles Schulz for their contributions to our American culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, October 6, 2003

By 

Kate Smart "Private" (Private) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Charlie Brown Christmas (Paperback)

I play piano at the grade 9 level (Royal Conservatory) and it was nice to find a collection of wonderful arrangements that were not boring to play. My favourite is "Christmas Time is Here" - the chords are full and very jazzy, and it's easy to add another note if you want to make is sound even better. Unfortunately, the fabulous Guaraldi solos are not included - these you will have to figure out yourself. "Skating" is fun to play - my kids love it - but I was so disappointed that Guaraldi's sizzling solo was absent. Still, I highly recommend this book - assuming it's the one I have and not a cheesier version - it's a holiday classic.
