Here's my transcription of Jacob Collier's arrangement of "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasing On An Open Fire)". This is a wonderful arrangement and I knew from the first time I listened to it when it made me cry that I would absolutely have to transcribe it. It took me a total of about 24 hours of work, but not spread very evenly (I worked for 11 hours total on Saturday). I'm so glad it's done and that I get to share it with all of you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

If you'd like, you can get my transcriptions in pdf/midi form for $3 each on patreon.com/jasonfieler
(If you sign up and make a pledge, make sure to message me on patreon or I won't be able to help you. Also, you get charged $3 times the amount of paid projects in that month unless you decide to set a maximum amount per month, which you can do)

Clarifications:
If a line is connected with a dashed slur, it means that all the notes in it are sung originally and then are held throughout the duration of the slur.
I wrote the climax in Bb half sharp because of how it gets increasingly sharper throughout the six bars before that section, so it would be weird if it went to a half flat key, and then I wrote the end in B 1/3 flat because I didn't want to write notes in Bb when it's actually closer to B.

Thanks to Lef Germenis for his spectacular melodica solo transcription, which I used extensively in this one. Here is the link, please go check it out and support him because this would not have been done as quickly if it wasn't for him: [ Ссылка ]

Also thanks to Pierre Regensburger for converting that transcription to sheet music, that also made the process quicker. Here is his channel which you should also check out. It has some pretty great Jacob Collier transcriptions as well: [ Ссылка ]
