  • TEACHER DEMO. This Christmas song is on Page 103 of the Alfred's Adult All In One Course Level 1. I love the way the C scale is used in the familiar opening phrase.

    Wow you play it fast!
    I didn't know this one is supposed to be played this fast... how did you interpret 'Joyfully' to play at this pace? Or is it because you are familiar with the song?
    By the way it sounds better at the pace you play it :)
    I want to try to get to your pace, at about what bpm do you play it here?

      I played it approximately 1/4 note = 138, which is in the "Allegro" range. Allegro means happy, similar to joyfully. The main reason that I selected that tempo is that it is a comfortable singing tempo for this song. I have sung this song at Christmas time for many, many years. I've heard it a bit faster and a bit slower, but this would be a typical tempo for it. --Norma

    Do you start playing at a faster tempo from the 8th bar (or rather the last note of the 7th bar)? It seemed to pick up the pace there.

      I think it sounds that way in that spot because of the "fermata" that is in measure 7. A "fermata" means that you can hold the notes longer than their usual value. The amount of time is up to the performer. It sounds like I gave it about 2-3 extra counts for the fermata which I think creates the illusion of the quarter notes being faster after that?? The fermata is first mentioned in this book on page 74. I think that Happy Birthday on page 75 provides a great example of one, when people are singing and then they may extend their voices when they sing the person's name, depending on how dramatic they want to be. --Norma

      @@92pianokeys40 you may be right. I hold the fermata for double the count. I think I was also playing at a much lower tempo and thus had the feeling. Graduating up to 100 bpm, now I realise that my earlier perception was wrong.
