Sleigh Ride

This sheet music had everything I needed: cords, piano accompaniment part, and lyrics. ok, so everything a sheet music will normally have. But being my first time ordering music, it was a great way to start. This song is a perfect song to show Christmas spirit. Happy, bouncy, and fun, it's one of the few famous holiday songs that are not sad and melancholy.

Love the arrangement. Fun to play.

This is a deceptively challenging yet fulfilling accompaniment to play as is blends both melody doubling (which is accurate for this style of music) and a true accompaniment style. This arrangement work to perform as a piano solo in the style of the famous orchestral arrangement of this work. Highly recommend!

This arrangement is simple enough for a late-intermediate/early-advanced pianist; most of the vocal easy enough for a beginning singer. Note that the vocal melody is combined with the piano part -- so the accompanist plays the melody with the singer all the way through. Because of this, the piece can be played as piano solo, but if one intends to accompany it is doubling the vocalist, and seems extraneous. The vocal part has one section that has quite a lot of jumping around; when listening to vocal recordings, the section is usually simplified. Overall, good value for the cost, and works with vocalist or without; just be prepared for some practice on certain sections that could have been a little simpler for the style.

This piece is meant for an experienced soloist.

Downloaded this for a student, then found I had trouble playing it myself. Deceptively hard to play!
