Arranged by Dan Bradley. Celtic,Christmas,Comedy,Holiday,Irish,Punk. 14 pages. Mare Dan Music #1037234. Published by Mare Dan Music (A0.1458257). The Season's Upon Us, by the Dropkick Murphys is a humorous Celtic Punk Rock song. This humorous celtic song is about a dysfunctional family celebrating the holidays. The lyrics are PG-13 so performance is recommended for College audiences or mature audiences. Performance by or for children is not recommended.Here arranged with a tongue in cheek sweet 3/4 choral intro later progressing into a 6/8 with angst and harmony There are humorous solos and plenty of room for dramatics. The song was performed by The Dropkick Murphys in the key of C. The arrnger chose G to allow 4 part harmony. Performance Suggestions: With a capable choir this could/should be performed a capella with interludes by a button accordion. A melodica, or flute/pennywhistle could be substituted for the accordion, or a piano/synth. On the recording there are also guitars and bodhráns - an Irish hand-drum. Guitar chords are included in the arrangement. A suggestion is to watch the original Dropkick Murphy's video on Youtube to catch the spirit of the song.

You can close your eyes     James TaylorLearn this classic James Taylor song and master his characteristic finger picking guitar technique.You will learn: 4/4 Fingerpicking rhythm patterns that you can use in many other songs and other genres.Popular and widely used great guitar chord inversions (also sometimes called slash chords, e.g. G/B )to create interesting bass lines that complement the melody of the tune and give direction and forward momentum to the song’s chord progression. Bass driven chord progressions are a characteristic feature of accomplished guitarists like James Taylor and Chet Atkins.‘Clawhammer’ technique or ‘Travis picking’ are the names often given to a style of playing four bass notes to the bar (usually alternating from root to fifth of the chord played with the R.H.thumb). If you listen to the great country guitarist Chet Atkins you will hear this ‘clawhammer’ style in most of his guitar arrangements.Useful hammer-ons/pull-offs and passing notes that will improve your technique and add a professional touch to enhance your guitar performances. See bar for 8 hammer on the A sus chord and also on the B minor in bar 32. Note the pull off on G chord in bar 11.Intro and outro sections are included in this James Taylor guitar arrangement of ‘You can close your eyes’Most songs have intros and outros so that the singer can get the tempo and start in the right key. However, many published arrangements often just start on a pick-up note or two on the last beat of the bar with no chord indicated and end the song on a chord that is not the tonic or main key chord that tells the listener the song has ended. ‘Leaving On A Jet Plane’ by John Denver is a good example. In the key of ‘D’ the song starts with the notes ‘C#’ and ‘E’ and then the first bar is indicated as ‘D’ major chord. If you start the song playing a ‘D’ chord you will most likely sing the wrong notes because ‘C#’ and ‘E’ belong to the A7 chord of the song. So a simple 2 bar intro of ‘D’ , A7 (start singing on the last beat) and back to ‘D’ would help the singer to get the tempo and sing the correct pick-up notes. The printed sheet music of ‘Leaving On A Jet Plane’ ends on an ‘A7’ chord of the chorus and as such does not indicate that the end chord should be ‘D’. So it is not always safe to assume that the end chord in printed music indicates the key of the song. Lyrics with chord symbols to show when to change chords. Matching the fingerpicking tab or sheet music to the lyrics can sometimes prove difficult so I have included a lyrics sheet of ‘You can close your eyes’ with chord symbols. This is a very popular format to give an indication when to change chords. However, the drawback is that there is no way of knowing how long each chord lasts as the bar structure is missing.

Published by James Pybus (A0.764686). An Irish Party in Third Class is music from the soundtrack of the 1997 Academy Award-winning motion picture Titanic. In the film it is performed by the Celtic band Gaelic Storm, in a lively scene featuring the characters Jack and Rose dancing to the traditional Irish tunes known as Blarney Pilgrim and Jack Ryan’s Polka. Rose has just endured a rather tedious and stuffy formal dinner dance with her fiancée and his aristocratic friends. Jack sees that she is bored and uncomfortable in this very pretentious social circle and decides to try to lighten her mood (and win her heart), taking her aside and asking her, So do want to go to a real party? Rose accepts Jack’s invitation and they are soon whirling about the dance floor with the other passengers in third class aboard the ill-fated ocean liner, carefree and unaware of the tragedy that awaits them. This arrangement is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, and is playable by either SATB or AATB Saxophone Quartet, both with optional Bass Saxophone doubling the Baritone. Performance time is 1:55.
