Vince Guaraldi Trio - O Tannenbaum
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 12. 2012
- On December 9, 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas aired on TV screens across America and instantly captured the hearts and ears of a generation. Bolstering the animated special, based on Charles M. Schulz’s immensely popular PEANUTS comic strip, was an engaging score from Bay Area jazz artist Vince Guaraldi, who brought characters like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy to life through his evocative cues.
Working primarily with bassist Fred Marshall and drummer Jerry Granelli, Guaraldi paired inspired interpretations of traditional holiday fare (“O Tannenbaum,” “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,” and “What Child Is This”) with original compositions, including the instantly recognizable “Linus and Lucy” theme, “Skating,” and “Christmas Time Is Here.” The latter song, available as both an instrumental and vocal track, featured young choral singers from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in San Rafael, CA.
More than five decades later, the Emmy® and Peabody®-winning animated classic has spawned more than two dozen subsequent PEANUTS specials. Guaraldi’s soundtrack, meanwhile, has since become one of the best-selling jazz albums in history, second only to Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, and regularly ranks among America’s top-selling holiday albums every December.

Christmas wouldn't be the same without this great music.
dankoch2010 True words!
YES! CHARLIE BROWN MAKES THE HOLIDAY SEASON!
Amen to that.!!
timeless
The best ever
The Charlie Brown specials were largely responsible for developing my love for classic jazz. Thank you, Vince Guaraldi! 😀👍
We should thank Charles Schultz also. He had a hand in every part of the Christmas special including the music. Schultz was a fan of jazz music.
Thank you @@georgetunstill2341 & @Erzahler for your cool comments--Vince also introduced me to jazz through all of the specials as well as through other artists like Muddy Waters, Manhattan Transfer, etc.
@@georgetunstill2341 Lee Mendelson hand picked Vince Guaraldi to do the music and he was glad to do it because he was a Peanuts fan. Seriously so many things came together to make such a classic batch of art. All the specials are great and I really love The Great Pumpkin Waltz maybe the most of all. Can't go wrong with any of his Peanuts work though really.
He died too young! What a genius!
Indeed he did @@d.vaughn8990 -- Vince Guaraldi was only 47 when he died on February 6, 1976. ;-(
Vince doesn't get nearly enough recognition for his incredible scores for the Peanuts specials and films. Everybody thought his score would never work but he proved them all wrong and showed why Charles Schultz had faith in him.
Can you tell us more? While I’ve known about Vince G since college, I’ve never heard any backstories about the soundtracks. Who thought it wouldn’t work? Please,we would love to hear more.
@@edlawrence6553 For the first Peanuts special (A Charlie Brown Christmas), there were a lot of things Charles Schultz pushed hard for that networks and studio executives thought would never work. Charles wanted actual kids to do the voices for all the Penauts characters (a tradition that continues to this day despite having to frequently recast the roles), wanted Vince to compose the soundtrack entirely on his own and most importantly wanted to include the true meaning of Christmas with the bible passage Linus quotes.
Charles Shultz wasn't actually responsible for Vince Guaraldi being hired....that was producer Lee Mendelson. czcams.com/video/SkZu5H4Wb_M/video.html
@@JCBro-yg8vd yeah I recall Schultz famously hated jazz
@@JCBro-yg8vd great for you! We, I love Charlie
This is what childhood sounds like.
The same with me. When I think of my childhood Christmases, this track and "Christmas Time is Here" from the same special are the first songs that come to mind. There's nothing better.
Same man, instead of classic Christmas music my family would play this every Christmas. I'm so glad they did.
Copy that!
@Colin Henderson as a 2000s kid, Vince, and Charlie Brown Christmas is extremely nostalgic to me. It was a tremendous part of my childhood.
Amen
Oh Vince, we adore thee.
think you guys could do a piano tutorial of this? I wanna learn it lol
Lovvvve it !!!!!I can listen to it year around...
This not just average this is notch people..
Whenever I hear this rendition of "Oh Christmas Tree" by Vince Guaraldi, I'm a kid again living at 6-B Civic Park Apartments in 1969. It's just not Christmas unless I hear this rendition. At Christmas time, we could hardly wait to see "A Charlie Brown Christmas
" on TV. I really miss those days.
I know exactly what you mean, brother.
@@ulyssesgrant2782 I first saw Charlie Brown Christmas sometime in the mid 90s and I totally agree with you. It is not Christmas until you hear this soundtrack and watch that special. I remember watching it every year with my family, along with the Rankin-Bass Rudolph special and How The Grinch Stole Christmas! Charlie Brown Christmas will never get old. Sure it may be a bit dated but that's what makes it special. I love the limited animation.
Wasn't this song on that one Christmas theater episode of the Boondocks?
@@stevarino1989
I think you meant to address Alan Morris, not me.
Im 16 and my family always watches those those specials on the days leading up to Christmas :D so Charlie Brown and Rudolph are nostalgic for me too
No one has ever made a Christmas Carol swing like Vince Guaraldi. What a great jazz musician he was!
When it comes to Christmas jazz, Vince is the man. I hope the Good Lord Jesus won't mind the saints in heaven being able to listen to the archives of Vince. I'm pretty sure Vince arranged these sweet melodies with a heart of worship. 🙂
@@niss2142Schulz and Vince are watching the new Peanuts shows from heaven (they've got free Apple TV+ there!)
Yes, he was. And thanks to this recording and others by him we'll always have his legacy to treasure.
Absolutely ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vince Guaraldi died too young, but he is immortalized in this beautiful music.
God bless you Vince Guaraldi wherever you are.
Glenn H In the grave bro.😢
We can resurrect him
I figure he's somewhere in a bar on the west side of heaven, playin' his piano like any other tuesday :)
Mr. Guaraldi lives on in the handlebar moustache of every hipster barista who has ever walked the Earth.
@@ajbobb24 Dang, that’s a shame
RIP 😭
There's no christmas without hearing this tune from anywhere. 🎄
ditto...
I wish he could just solo like that forever. There will never be a better version of this song. RIP Vince!
True
Grand masterpiece..
Just love this style of jazz: the harmony, the rhythm, the improvising, and the Christmas nostalgia. Few things are this beautiful!
Welp it’s November 1 2019 might as well listen
Exactly!!!
Boy I Tell U... Halloween Then Christmas... Whoops Sorry Thanksgiving....
Im in Canada, Thanksgiving already past, so Nov 1st Halloween is over, Christmas has begun.
Finally got some cool weather here in Florida. A Charlie Brown Christmas immediately filled my thoughts!
fer sure! but I love those jazz chords!
Still brings smiles and tears 60yrs old The Best Christmas Show ever made!!!
❤
Ever!
Same here❤🌲
The program itself has been a timeless classic and seasonal favourite since my father was a child. I truly hope they don't stop airing the re-runs every Christmas.
+RedBaronFilms1918 Are you kidding? CBS will never drop it. Ever. In fact, the 50th Anniversary Special will be this Monday featuring a host of special guests, including President Obama doing his best "teacher voice" impression.
Bill Bird
Oh wow, I'd want to see that!
+Bill Bird Thank you Bill! Didn't know that... I'm glad I'm not the only one that loves this classic. Happy holidays..
+Hector Griffin I enjoyed it immensely. If there is one complaint -- only one -- there was nobody over 35 on the show. I can't understand why the networks are so insistent on kids, kids, kids these days. Nothing against them, but I long for the days when older entertainers like Bing Crosby paired with newcomers like David Bowie for example. Even today it's done on a limited basis -- Lady Gaga paired with Tony Bennett. That show needed more of that. Just my opinion.
You mean ABC. And I enjoyed the 50th anniversary special last year. My favorite part was Kristin Chenoweth's rendition of Happiness
My Grandma used to love this movie, so much, before she died. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this song.
+Noah Johnson I can easily relate to your pain...
Same thing. I am so sorry for your loss
Thank you guys :(
My condolences.
Noah Johnson you seem to be a good pianist as well. Upload your own version in her memory :)
I don't care how stressed out I am or what time of the year it is. Vince Guaraldi can always put me in the Christmas spirit
Linus is right. I'm not going to let all this commercialism ruin my Christmas.
What a truly iconic line said by the beloved blockhead himself.
hats off to linus
Guys!!! Seriously!!!!
Y'all need remidial Charlie Brown 101. Linus isn't the blockhead, it's Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown says the line about commercialism and Christmas.
It's a Charlie Brown's Christmas not Linus's.
Go watch it again y'all. Right now. Go!!!!!
Ok, welcome back, feel better???
Got it all straight????
Good.
Merry Christmas y'all!!!!!
@@malissahyatt2425 whatever
@@malissahyatt2425 Please just shut up. You're ruining the music.
Did you know that the Charlie Brown Christmas special was rejected at first by CBS: they didn't like that amateur children were doing the voices, they didn't like the "anti-consumerism" theme of the plot -- and they didn't like the music.
They didn't know how much it would remain in people's hearts
And the religious part
They also wanted a laugh track, but Mendelson rejected that
They treated the special like what the kids did to Charlie Brown's tree... They criticized it...
I'm so glad that blew up in their faces when it became their most popular and classic show ever to the point where they're in huge trouble if they don't air it =)
Dude this song reminds me of every Christmas when I was a child. We watched Charlie Brown every year. I was putting up my Christmas tree the other day & when I finished, I said, “Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree “ & I thought about them standing around the tree. Omgggg it makes me wanna cry!!! Time flies too fast. I can’t remember the last time I saw Charlie Brown 😢
MY FIRST LOVE OF JAZZ.........thank you Vince Guaraldi !!!
Hunnie B Same here dude!
Hunnie B .
Still listening in 2023! 🎄
And in 24!
A very Merry Christmas to anyone who took time to search this classic
Same to you and yours.
The soundtrack of my childhood... Happy happy holidays everyone
Hector Griffin Thank you! :3
In my opinion the first 35 seconds are some of the best sounds ever produced
Yes, magical🌲❤️
Agreed but I'd stretch it out a bit and say the first 1:10 are some of the best sounds ever produced. Its really magical stuff.
Guaraldi was a genius. Such an ebullient, sublime, legendary arrangement.
Very much a genius.
So much Oscar Peterson in his playing
💯❤️
You took the words right out of my mouth..and Merry Christmas to all lol
Even though I spend Christmas alone most of my years because of my shit family, I still love that time of year and the joy that the music brings me.
My dude, I have a huge family that would be more than willing to accept you with open arms. There is no reason that you should spend Christmas alone. Holler at me, my dude
whats so adress mayne. i need some o dat turkie brotha.
There is nothing wrong with spending Christmas alone. Imagine forcing yourself to endure a time with people you cannot stand for the sake of tradition? That is far more alone, if you ask me. You are better people now that you are away from that negativity. And it's okay if it hurts - it really is. Because that means that you have a heart in you. It's more than what others can offer this world Keep being you, it's gotten you this far after all.
*****
Actually, friend, I appreciate your attempt to call someone out. I was presenting a hypothetical situation. Perhaps I should have reworded it so there was no confusion? I was offering a word of encouragement. No I was not talking about myself but of others who I do know in such a situation. Please be careful about making assumptions like that.
Unfortunately the context of text does a disservice to tone. I had meant to only offer encouragement. But it seems it's gone a rougher path. I apologize.
What a smooth way of transitioning into the glorious season of Christmas.
Every score composed by Vince Guaraldi in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is wonderful. This, along with the instrumental version of "Christmastime is Here" is probably my favorite score in the special. It's so relaxing, soothing and calm.
Ollie. I don't believe in magic, but I do strongly believe in blessing and inspiration. Thank you Vince ...
He was a master musician.
PBS didn’t air it last year I’m starting to think the tradition is coming to an end
@@mariofanalex4455 They're a bunch of Islamofascists.
Such a relaxing catchy song, brings back memories of Christmas in the past.
The pairing of Guarldi’s melancholy jazz and Charlie Brown is perfection. They were made for one another and the Christmas special would not have achieved its iconic status without this combination.
I would like to thank Vince and his trio for introducing me to jazz so many years ago. I would have given anything to have this album when I was a kid.
Well how old are you now? 👌❓❓❓ and
Anywhere from 28 to 60 years old.
@@bradleyj302 58 now.
CLASSIC CHRISTMAS!!!
U LIKE THIS TOOO???
U comment all over sssniperwolfs videos
Omg you too!!!!!!!??????? If you do then…oh no
What I love about Vince Guaraldi and "A Charlie Brown Christmas": I get older, and this music stays the same age.
And with every new year and Christmas time bringing joy and melancholy wrapped up together like always, it's here for me again.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
You also, Merry Merry🌲❤️
I'm a sentimental old softie. This whole album takes me back to my childhood, when life (well, some of it) was soft and kind and gentle, especially around Christmas. This music is pure comfort for me. I.can sit in the dark and listen to this (sometimes with an extremely flammable beverage by my side) and the cat in my lap, and this music makes me feel warm and safe.
Thank you Vince, wherever you may be, for this lingering gift of comfort and joy.
Absolutely! Well said!
Right there with ya brother…right there with ya!
I was born in 1964 so I literally grew up with Charlie Brown particularly the Christmas episode. Whenever I hear this classic beautiful music I am a child again. Very sweet and sad . Sublime melancholy echoed for all of us now as adults. God bless Vince Guaraldi and Charles Schultz. God bless us all everyone!
Well said! Merry Christmas 2022!
Soon merry Christmas 2023. For now happy thanksgiving. Btw my dad was born 1963 so he feels you wherever u are right now
So true....memories🌲❤️
This has got to be one of the only Christmas albums that you can listen to outside of the season.
As a proof I am here listening on late June.
And I in August
and heres me in october
I listen to it year round.
Yep. Listening now 😎
i cried tears of nostalgia
I didn't really cry but I hope others did when the Peanuts Movie came out on this day last year
I always loved it when Linus recited that scripture from the bible. Amazing! ✝️✝️✝️
And CBS wanted Schulz to cut it from the show because it was too RELIGIOUS- UNBELIEVABLE !!
My mom says my brother is like Linus when he lectures at church.
Listening to this right now on Christmas Eve with my wife, 12/24/21. Vince Guaraldi was a wonderful musician that died much too soon! RIP….
Gosh just sit back, listen and see where it takes you. Merry Christmas to everyone.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you sir!
Antonio Castro Merry
Antonio Castro Christmas!! :3
I go back to being a young kid, when the program was interlaced with commercials for Dolly Madison snack cakes.
This song reminds me of christmas at my old house, the snow, when my dad would play jazz music around the house, getting and decorating the christmas tree, opening presents and just a super nostalgic song. It will forever have a spot in my heart.
Edit: also plowing snow.
I play the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack when we decorate our tree, when we make cookies, and when we open up presents.
People watched because of Charlie Brown, but they remembered because of Vince Guaraldi.
Truth
IKR??
You're probably right. Good point. Thanks!
Simply timeless, beautiful, Christmas is not complete with out this tune.
I'm amazed that so many people (13) looked this song up and then gave it a "dislike". For what? Making you feel something magical again?
Natty christmas
Amazing. 🤓🤔
Awesome comment!
Fat thumbs maybe. I've gone to vidoes I LOVE to find I've accidentally given a thumbs down. I quickly remedy 😲
probably an accident
"Wow, this really brings Christmas close to a person."
It’s 2022, I was born in 2002, and 2004 i was in Lebanon.
I cried as soon as this soundtrack started playing because i re experience and relive a happy memory where we it used to be my mom, my dad, my brother, our 3 cats and 2 dogs in front of the TV living room, watching Charlie Brown Christmas special. And it was simply the easier times. Before more fucked up family relationships and life struggles came to arise and became a part of my consciousness.
Which makes this comment all that more saddening to write. And that this will soon be a present moment that will become past as soon as you finish reading this “now comment”. The Charlie Brown specials, weee simply nostalgic af. ✨✨✨✨
Since last year’s October, my mom and I had to move into a new house to rent. Because our landlord was a jerk, very demanding for more money that then became unaffordable for my mom to pay rent. So yeah. We had all pur furniture moved to a new house in the same country: Lebanon. So life was different and it was so sad to say goodbye to pur house. Seeing it get very emptied. I took pictures of each of the rooms before they were all emptied. As memory and to write about it all in my future autobiography.❤✨✨✨

Oh god I love all the Charlie Brown holiday specials 😭💗💗💗
I can very much relate to Charlie Brown sometimes.
"I never thought it was such a bad little tree......(straightens up tree and wraps blanket around the base) It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."
menslady125 Charlie Brown is a blockhead, but he did get a nice tree!
Makes me want to dance around my doghouse.
🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
all 4 of my dog houses.m
Just not a fortnite dance hopefully...
😂😂😂😂😂This comment right here!!!
This will always be my favorite Christmas soundtrack!
What memories these tracks bring back. This music and Charles Schultz. Glad I appreciate this artistry.
What memories is right. His music touches the heart like none other.
Every year, this CD set is played at my place while we put up Christmas decorations. This and some real egg nog, almond toffee, and curling up in a blanket.
Our staple as well, along with "John Denver and the Muppets Christmas Together."
Merry Christmas to all.
That sounds like bliss.
I do the same thing too. After getting the tree decorated, I will sit down with a cup of hot chocolate.
I love this version of Oh Christmas Tree! Nothing can beat the magic of Charlie Brown and Linus searching for the perfect Christmas Tree.
* Oh Tannenbaum
@@rockinresurrection6542 I like to call it that way

Magical🌲❤️
Who's listening to this during this coronavirus outbreak 2020? Isn't it nice to hear comforting Christmas music again?
Michael it’s even better if you don’t mention the damn virus here. I come here to escape it not be reminded of it
World Class jazz and I learned it thanks to Charlie Brown..
Holy Smokes.......THAT BASS.....
Holy smokes that piano! Vince could play!!!
That's my first music instructor on bass, the great, late, master Monty Budwig.
@@JackHaleHotJazz Fred Marshall plays bass on this. Monty was on bass for "Greensleeves "

LIKE IT. NOW.
This makes me so excited for Christmas
Froliche Weihnachten Vince Guaraldi, du musik ist Sehr gut. 🎄🇩🇪🇺🇸🎁 🎶

I listen to this every year to start my Christmas season right
Just lovely, brings me back to my childhood.
Childhood nostalgia and Christmas spirit, all wrapped up in one jazzy package. Thanks, Vince. ❤
Grateful to being able to listen to this another year. 🙏🏽
Xmas is still Great when you listen to this music and I feel like I'm in happier time's plus having a Great Xmas.
"Lights, please."
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown...
the b a b e
>the babe
Whoa momma 😳😳😳
How humanity has longingly hung onto the desperate grasp of the heartstrings of sacrifice. That's what I hear in Guaraldi's take on this most ancient of tunes, a depth of meaning and expression of the innermost reaches of the warmth of its simple chord progression, expanded into the massive creativity that only his jazz palate could let blossom. Highly recognizable, yet clearly a vast departure of what came before. Genius. What child is this?
Amen.
:) Linus is right. I won't let all this commercialism ruin MY Christmas!
It just doesn't get any better then this. Bless you Vince. Rip.
Nothing like listening to this on Dec 1st.
The best time of the year is here.
This is absolute musical perfection. I could listen to this forever.
Between Charlie Brown specials, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, & the 1980's Jersey radio station Jazz 88...my ear was "good and seasoned" by my 14th birthday. Will always ❤️ cherish these days...even though I never found a female that shared my deep love for the genre. #noregrets #timelessmusic
This album should be protected as an international treasure.
I like that. I totally agree.
Love it! I even bought a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree that plays their ¨happy dance¨song!
Cool!
Umm who would dislike this. this classic sound that everyones loves and remembers. Every time i listen to this song it makes me fell warm inside. I cannot believe that 900 people took time out of their day to dislike this. What a shame.
Can't believe I grew up watching this since 1999 now I'll be 18 in a few months and sharing this legendary movie with my kids in the future wow time flies
I was four in 1971 when I first remember watching this. I fell in love with the music even then.
It is one of many songs that are serene and ideal for the holidays.
all the snoopy songs bring happy tears , reminds me of my grandpa that has passed.. we loved snoopy together !
Today is the tenth of December, 2020. In a crazy year, I have retreated back to my childhood, and I find that I have no regrets for my decision. Merry Christmas everyone.
Every beat of this song is a masterpiece ❤
We've been through a lot during this pandemic, lost loved ones, gotten sick. But we still stand, this song is making my day better. Thank you so much Vince, for giving me a great childhood, with this song.
Well said.
this is just magical. never ages or loses its beauty
My favorite Christmas movie is Charlie Brown and it will always be my favorite. Listening to this in June. So good.
It's not Christmas without Charlie Brown.
Merry Christmas 2020! 🎄🎄🎅🎅🎁🎁
I'm be feeling immense nostalgia right now.
RIP Greg Duch
Memories of drinking and great debates and musical conversations with you. The one year Xmas felt like Xmas and it was actually cold enough to ice skate. I'll always remember that. Miss you my friend.
Gotta have this music during Christmas!
The absolute most relaxing music!! November 2019!!
I remember vividly hearing this as a child, wondering at the time what that beautiful drum sound was. I've loved the brushes on snare from that day on, and this is still the best jazz I've ever heard.
count me in
A Christmas classic that still lives on, as it rightfully should.
It's gunna be a warm Christmas 🏝 those fingers are on fire 🔥
December 2, 2019 Christmas Classic.
All you have to know about jazz is found in that splendid moment at :37 when it suddenly slips in! One of the greatest transitions ever. And then once again at 1:09 when Vince starts improvising! Magic.
Who doesn't just love this album. The memories of watching A Charlie Brown's Christmas every year during those special years of childhood and my dad putting this record on a few times throughout the holiday season...the memories just come pouring out.
Whenever I listen to this album I'm transported back to when I was a kid. My dad wanted to be a composer in college so he loves piano music and always played the Charlie brown Christmas album while cooking dinner and my house just was filled with Christmas spirit. The snow falling outside, a cozy fireplace and Christmas decorations inside. Makes me nostalgic every time I listen to it and almost sad at how much I miss those times as a kid. Yet that magic and happiness always returns whenever I play this music. My Dad knows how much I love it so it's a tradition to play this album throughout the house whenever it's Christmas time.
So THANK YOU Vince Guaraldi for all of this timeless music that no matter how many times you listen to it you don't lose the magic. God Bless.
This is my go to Christmas song. So peaceful having this on in the background, watching snow fall, enjoying a cup of coffee. Merry Christmas 2020
Hate how radio stations cut this short this is a masterpiece a timeless classic!
Charlie Brown Christmases since the 1960's have been making mine fantastic thanks to Vince Guaraldi, my favorite Jazz man.RIP my friend.
Who would've thought combining jazz and christmas music would create something pure and soothing.
