Product Description

"Christmas Time Is Here" from the animated movie "A Charlie Brown Christmas". This arrangement is embellished with laces of notes that inspire the Spirit of Christmas. This song has long been a favorite of mine; and I've arranged the music as I usually play it; with my improvisations.

"Christmas Time Is Here" was composed by jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi to accompany the opening of the 1965 television special A Charlie Brown Christmas. It was originally written as an instrumental, but producer Lee Mendelson decided that the song needed lyrics. Mendelson recalled, "When we looked at the show about a month before it was to go on the air, I said, 'That's such a pretty melody; maybe we should try and find some people to put some lyrics to it.'" When he was unable to find someone available, he wrote the lyrics himself:

So I sat down with an envelope I'll never forget this at our kitchen table and wrote 'Christmas Time Is Here' in about ten minutes. It was a poem that just came to me never changed the words to this day. It was only about a minute long. And Vince got a bunch of little kids together to sing it.
