29th October 2011 – The uniqueness of Christmas Sheet Music lies in the fact that it is open to more re-harmonization.
This is primarily because of the demotic nature of the Christmas carols that makes the melody very easy and enables the pianists to take more harmonic chances. It is hard to find any Christian who is not well versed with the lyrics of some popular carols like Joy to the World, Hark the Night or Jingle Bells. These hymns and carols are no less popular among most other people too. Everyone seems to be carried by away by their melodious tunes.
The variety in this kind of music depends vastly on the talent of the pianist. If the pianist is confident enough of taking more chances with the chord he or she can be assured of more freshness in the music. Since the melodies of popular Christmas hymns are known by almost one and all, it is much easy for the pianist to adopt more choral chances. Most of the carols are so well established in our sub conscious layers that we do not need lyrics to hum them. They come automatically and this is an added advantage for the piano accompanists.
This popularity of the carols adds a zing of fun element in the fresh melodies produced. Even the piano accompanist feels very comfortable trying hand at some underlying chords. This enables him or her to produce some very precise harmonic chances. If you desire not to let anyone lose the interest in the track, it is important that you just maintain the beat of the track going.
Christmas Sheet Music is entirely about mixing the various chords efficiently. A talented pianist knows the trick of the trade well and thus is able to produce some of the finest music that brings alive the old melodies. It revives the old melodies and brings freshness in them.
The variety involved in the mixing of the chords is the key to producing a good music that is soothing to the ear. If you are capable of making excellent chord choices, you can be certain of the superior quality of the music produced.
