Hi everyone! For this week's listening assignment, and what I hope turns into a deep dive into the music that makes the essence of Charlie Brown, I give you The Great Pumpkin!
At our house, Fall starts only when we've pulled out the Charlie Brown Video collection. Every year I think how the music is what really makes these so quintessentially nostalgic and so perfectly Autumn. Which leads me to tell you about a most amazing jazz pianist and composer of all Peanuts' cartoon soundtracks — Vince Guaraldi a San Francisco-based pianist/jazz musician. Give it a listen!
Questions: What do you think about this kind of music? How does it make you feel? Which of the clips below is your favorite?
