Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1035856 Composed by Traditional French Carol, James Chadwick. Arranged by Jake Smolowe. Christmas,Jazz. Score. 2 pages. ArrangeMe #6904239. Published by ArrangeMe (A0.1035856). This is the lead sheet version of Jake Smolowe's recording of Angels We Have Heard on High, from his 2021 album Christmas Solo: Informal, Improvised. The chart includes the lead melody line, detailed chord symbols throughout, and a notated piano intro/interlude. Length: 2 pages Notes from Jake: This arrangement of Angels We Have Heard on High is kind of an ode to Brad Mehldauâ€™s many jazz waltz arrangements over the years (for example, Sheâ€™s Leaving Home, from Day is Done). I wanted to capture the feel of Mehldauâ€™s classic trio waltzes, not just the piano but the drums and bass too. The A sections feature a constantly rising chord progression, with slight differences in chord quality between the first two Aâ€™s, and then the B sections highlight some more dramatic reharmonizations as well as a dichotomy between straight-eighths/behind the beat melody and swung accompaniment. The intro, which also serves as the outro vamp as well as an interlude between choruses, includes a bell-like theme that I hope instantly conjures up the Christmas/holiday spirit. Tips for Performance: The intro/interlude/outro can be tricky! I encourage watching the YouTube video and or/listening to the mp3 to get a sense of the timing for the fingering switches and pedaling. Also, in the B sections, the LH is often swinging while the right hand plays straight eighths; as with the intro, the best way to lock down this feel is to check out the YouTube video.------Visit me on the web: http://www.jakesmolowe.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/jakesmoloweInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/jakesmolowejazz Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jakesmolowejazz
