This one!
Most of the time less is more, as a pianist, it's a beautiful arrangement but most people that hear this arn't going appreciate the complexity of this arrangement!
Thanks for watching :)
I agree that less is often more. In classical rep I really favour Bach more than anything else. In the first half of this I wanted to create that feeling of 'every note matters', and then have the massive textural and emotional contrast in the second half.
I appreciate it.
My favourite Christmast song.. You play it so amazingly... GREAT JOB!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Incredible!!!!! Thank your for sharing your gift with us!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for watching! I'm prepping another Christmas arrangement for this year, and hoping to get it up soon!
Wow amazing!
This talented guy needs more subscribers. Let's do it!
Thanks for your vote of confidence! Really appreciate it : )
Goose bumps
Cheers :)
Wow, that was beautiful played. Thank you for posting. Cheers 🍾
Thanks so much, and happy holidays this year!
I like this vision , it is so beautiful
Thank you so much! 🙂
Loved the peaceful intro Han. The 2nd half made me feel like the stars were rushing down towards the Earth and it was the end times 😉
Love that imagery! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new jazz version I just did, as well. It's different... decidedly less cataclysmic!
WHAT A MASTERPIECE!! ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE
Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Ì felt cozy listening to Holy Night
Wow, beautiful
Thanks, happy holidays!
MAGNIFICENT & ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
Thank you!!
It’s a wonderful music to listen to keep up the good work.
For Christmas songs I like to hear slow and clear melody. It is the melody touches heart.
Beautiful playing of a most beautiful song
Thanks so much for watching!
Ding Han, you must have been in an octopus in a previous life!! Loved the arrangement and the playing!
Daaaaaaaaaang😦 a prodigy🙌🤩
Wonderful!
Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful!
Thanks!!
My mind is blown. I'd love to play a thing close to that.
Thanks so much for watching! It was definitely a satisfying arrangement to play, and I've been trying to top it ever since :D
All of the jazzy and softly played versions of this song, as pretty as they all are, just really fall flat for me. THIS is the way this song was meant to be played. EPIC!! Really captures the spirit of the song. Great Job.
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Yes, I think this song has a really intense quality. Emotionally, spiritually, whatever you perceive. It's not a chill radio sort of Christmas carol. Thanks for watching!
I really love your arrangement ! great work !
Thanks so much, and thank you for watching!
excellent！
No matter what others say of his musical arrangements it is still a great Christmas song to listen to. Great job.
Thank you! Thanks for listening!
Awesome music!!😄
Thank you so much!
Amazing! I love it
Thank you very much!
Well... now it's just about the final week of 2023! Merry CHRISTmas everyone
Loved it!
Thanks very much!
Exquisite ❤
Stunning gave me chills!
Thanks, cheers : )
Excellent arrangement. My 2nd favorite of this Christmas classic next to Luca Sestak's "bluesy" arrangement (also on youtube). May I offer a freindly suggestion? Post another recording without the verbal introduction. That way, listeners can add it to their Christmas/holiday playlists and have continuous music with no verbal interruption (especially at an event).
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the excellent suggestion! I've just posted a version with no intro (link in description). Incidentally, I'm also working on a full jazz remix of this song as we speak! Cheers, and happy holidays!
Excellent😉🎶
Thanks very much!
You are so gifted. Beautiful
Thanks so much, and an early happy holidays to you!
Wow, this is So Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 💓❤️🤗🙏🇦🇺💖💐
Thanks so much! Happy new year!
Beautiful play! It starts clam in the beginning but then it gets more intense after each repetition
Thank so much for watching and enjoying! Merry Christmas!
@@hanellipsis Merry Christmas 😇
Bravo ❤
Thanks! : )
Hand written notes! Where do you find that these days :) Lovely arrangement! and great playing!
I always score by hand cause it's quicker and much more flexible! The sheet music for download is a typeset version, though. Thanks for watching! Happy holidays!
🎉🎉🎹🎹👏👏👍👍😇😇

@@hanellipsis Thank you. You are great piano player. Happy holiday.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thanks so much for watching!
Toast.
Love to be able to pull that off myself 😮
Thanks for watching!
Impressive.
Han Ding, I love your arrangement on one of my favourite Christmas songs. Where can I purchase its music sheets? Have you ever published it by any chance? I would like my kids to play that too. Thank you for the lovely music!
Hi, thanks for watching! You can find sheet music for all my existing and upcoming arrangements on my site (go to my channel's 'About' tab)! Happy holidays!
Very beautiful. Everything was lovely including the presentation and filming. I got a kick out of seeing a concert pianist using a chair. Glenn Gould would be pleased. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I think a contoured chair is actually so much more comfortable than most benches, and yes, Gould was definitely an inspiration for that. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Very nice. More pianistic than vocal, but I gather that's what you were going for. Are you selling the sheet music for this anywhere? Would be fun to play it for my church (next year, lol).
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I wanted to make a piano concert piece out of it. In the first half, though, the little bits of counterpoint were based on choral arrangements I'm familiar with. You can download the score from my site (see 'About'). Happy holidays! 😊
What song you playing?
I realize you did this arrangement and I do not profess being a concert pianist but I feel compelled to give a "listener of her favorite song" word of advice. I watched and listened carefully and what I heard was my favorite Carol being butchered. I could listen only once and I feel confident it would be very beautiful if at lease one-third of the runs were eliminated. Sometimes, as I have proven many times to myself, less truly is more.
I just never set it to write an easy listening version for a general audience (because that's been overdone), but this recording has reached a general audience. Most listeners have really enjoyed it; the occasional one may not. You said it's your favourite song and so you're used to hearing it in a particular way.
I wrote it for myself and classical pianists like me who are familiar with the type of repertoire I'm referencing - variation technique, cadenza style, and the Prok 2 concerto cadenza specifically. And in that context, this arrangement, by concert repertoire standards, wouldn't be considered even close to maximum virtuosity or technical difficulty. The formal point of this arrangement was to have maximum textural contrast between the first and second verse; to thin out the cadenza passages would weaken the cataclysmic character of the second half.
I know it's not for everyone, but I really wrote it for a pretty niche segment: people who like this song and who also either appreciate or are familiar with some very specific aspects of classical music, namely 19th to mid-20th century concert rep. If you strongly prefer easy listening and are also not familiar with those eras and what many composers did with the development of piano writing, then my arrangement would be a mismatch for you.
So I'm afraid this is a case of the wrong piece for the wrong listener in your case. However, thanks for listening anyway!
Developing my piano skills -have time now -retired engineer -doing music theory, UA-cam tutorials -etc , not sure of my finger positions.
Have a burning desire ( what an eloquent arrangement) to play it -Can you provide finger , hand position Joyeux Noel
Merry Christmas and thanks for your interest! The entire sheet music for this is available for download if you follow the link. Cheers!
Absolutely moving piece. Thank you.
Thanks so much for listening!
I really like concert piano arrangements of classics like this! Well done!
Thanks so much!
One of the best versions I've heard so far. The song works well with lots of arpeggios but you've kept it interesting throughout without being boring or repetitive. It's well above my skill level though!
Thanks, I really appreciate that! I really enjoyed working on this one : )
Is it possible to buy these partitions?
Yes, please see the video info for a sheet music link. Thanks for watching!
