Description
This swinging version of Deck The Halls begins with a cool bass riff in the left hand. The melody is carried in the primo part which remains remains in middle c position for most of the song (deviating slightly for a scale wise pattern at one point and an octave shift for one measure). The left hand of the primo part and both hands of the secundo remain in one 5 finger position throughout. There is syncopation and some chromaticism bending the notes in a familiar jazz style. Fingerings are given at appropriate points. The arrangement ends on a quiet tonic 9th chord. ASCAP
