26th September 2011 - With Christmas right around the corner, it is the time to find where you stored your sax, flute, accordion and harmonica last year and clean off the dust from your piano and your brass band and be ready to play and keep everybody entertained for hours by playing either simple, traditional Christmas carols or the classics from the Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong and Brenda Lee and Frank Sinatra era; all using high quality classical Christmas sheet music.
As long as you have the ability to read music notations, you have the vast world of Christmas sheet music opened in front of you. Sheet music is used to perform a piece of music, like a record or a guide. Creating a sheet music and performing to it enables one to elucidate aspects of the music that may not be obvious from mere listening, thus adding richness to the whole experience.
Whether the Christmas sheet music is composed for one instrument, or in parts for many voices and instruments; a score which is a complete vertical alignment of the musical notations having whole basic indications of melodies, chord changes, and arrangements can work wonders for people who want to soak the environment in festive spirits.
All one needs is the skill of sight reading and the art of recreating the magic of old Christmas melodies with popular lyrics comes automatically to one.
Though the Christmas sheet music can be used by one to perform on an impromptu basis without much preparation with the loved ones enjoying the music around the Christmas tree, getting one beforehand and comprehending the voicing and fingerings to play in a group using more than one instrument scales the excitement to a new high. In today’s digital era, it’s not hard to find the collections of Christmas sheet music online for any instrument and ensemble, which can be downloaded, printed and then played; available not only in PDF file format but with audio MP3 files and MP3 music accompaniment files to make the Christmas season all the more special, all the more musical.
