Whistle While You Work (Jazz Version) - Frank Churchill & Larry Morey

#med (Music.Every.Day)

Day 287 of my daily video posting project. I have been working on this project since November 2023--learning and posting a video of new piano music every day!

Today's video is an upbeat swing version of "Whistle While You Work" from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The music is by Frank Churchill and lyrics are written by Larry Morey. The arrangement can be found in Jazz Piano Solos: Volume 16 - Disney.

Whenever I heard the original of this piece, I would always find myself humming/whistling it several hours later--it is a VERY catchy tune.

I love the swing rhythms that are introduced into this famous song. The blues-y fills are really fun and challenging, too. I'm getting to the end of the book, which makes me sad, because I think these arrangements are stellar! I haven't lost hope though--I saw that there is a second volume of Disney Favourites available--so I am ordering it as soon as I finish the last few songs! I am really hoping to start arranging my own at some point--I'm still in the process of playing and understanding all these jazz harmonies, but it will be fun to experiment, I am sure!

Tune in tomorrow for more of my #music.every.day experiment!
