Five Popular Chanukah Songs arranged in jazz style,
including Swing, Stride Piano and Latin rhythms.

An arrangement for solo piano of the much loved song from the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. A performance can be viewed at youtube.com/c/rupertaustin/videos.

The song is first presented in a gentle jazz ballad style (bars 1-24). The tempo then picks up for a swing exploration, at a relaxed tempo, of the song in bars 25-74. During bars 70-74 the tempo slows and the mood changes in preparation for a very different dream-like presentation of the song, where the melody is mostly played by the left hand with the right hand providing a rippling accompaniment that gently splashes across a wide range of the keyboard. In this section the accent marks in the score do not indicate strong accents, but indicate where moderate emphasis is required to bring out the melody above the surrounding accompaniment. In bars 99-115 the arrangement returns to the style of the opening. From bar 116 a coda takes the opening three notes of the melody and wistfully explores them in a chromatic and richly harmonized descent towards a peaceful close.

Performance duration is about 6 minutes, but shorter versions of the arrangement are possible such that the swing section or the dream section (or both) can be omitted, with directions for this marked in the score in bars 25 and 74.

Fingering suggestions are provided in many places, but these will not suit all hands and alternative effective fingerings are possible.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" has got to be one of the most classic Christmas songs of all time. It was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane for the 1944 movie "Meet Me in St. Louis", starring Judy Garland. According to an interview with the writers in 1989, when Judy first read the words she refused to sing it because the words were too depressing. Martin and Blane revised it, and that version was used in the movie. This piano solo is written for advanced intermediate level, and begins with a beautiful, flowing style, full of rich chording, and changes into a "piano bar" style, with a single line melody in the R.H. and bass and chords in the L.H. The melody is written using many triplets and a swing rhythm that is similar to the way it is sung by many famous artists. There is lots of helpful fingering, making many passages flow with ease. Pedal this song about every 2 beats to maintain a clean sound. Arranged by Amy J. Snyder. Visit AmyJoMusic at www.facebook.com/amyjsnyder7and#65279;.

With this sheet music, you can play the opening theme song from "Family Guy" on piano!

The theme song of the award-winning series about the Griffins family has an amazing big band swing sound that is typical for the show's music.

Of course, it makes for a fantastic piano piece if played right!

Please note: This is an accurate, but rather challenging piano arrangement of the song, and is not suitable for beginners.

The full melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect instrumental (piano solo) cover.

Of course, you can also use this piano arrangement to accompany a singer, or sing along yourself - this sheet music includes a system for the singer, as well as the song's full lyrics and chords!

The Family Guy theme song is, of course, performed by the Griffins family: Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie and Brian.

Several of them are voiced by the show's creator Seth MacFarlane.

Here are the full lyrics to the Family Guy intro:

[Lois]
It seems today
That all you see
Is violence and movies
And sex on TV

[Peter]
But where are those good old fashioned values?
On which we used to rely?

[Chorus]
Lucky there's a family guy
Lucky there's a man who positively can do
All the things that make us

[Stewie]
Laugh and cry

[Chorus]
He's a family guy!
