“Sing We Now of Christmas” is a favorite Christmas hymn of mine. When I record Christmas songs, I try to give them my own spin and create an arrangement that makes it sound different and yet reflective of the original arrangement.

Produced, arranged & performed by Louis Landon.

Louis Landon’s Easy Piano songbook

Louis Landon’s Easy Piano songbook is a collection of ten simplified piano solos from nine of Landon’s many albums and range from his 2005 solo piano debut, unwind, to his 2019 Solo Piano Space Traveler. An extremely accomplished pianist, many of Landon’s note-for-note sheet music transcriptions are too difficult for most pianists, so he has had a lot of requests for simplified arrangements – and here they are! Landon stripped these pieces down to their essence so that the melodies are intact, but rhythms are much easier and the left hand parts are either basic chords or broken chords played in eighth notes. The key signatures are also very basic – C, F or G major and their relative minors. The right hand parts are almost all single notes (there are a few intervals and  a few simple chords, but not many), so there are no reaches of more than an octave – actually there are only a few reaches at all! 

The subtitle of the book is “Simplified Sheet Music for Beginners,” which is slightly misleading because beginners don’t read well and rarely venture beyond the octaves above and below middle C. These arrangements are geared more for intermediate players who are reading notes well and have a basic grasp of timing. Pedaling suggestions, dynamics and metronome settings are all included, and the scores are beautifully engraved and easy to read. So, if you are a fan of Louis Landon’s music and/or are looking for some beautiful but not-too-difficult piano solos, here you go! The songbook is available in hard copy and PDF download from www.LouisLandon.com and the paperback book is also available on Amazon.

Beautiful Day – Key of F (1 flat) – 2 1/2 pages

“Sunshine” is about celebrating the sun with it’s warmth and light. Without the sun there would be no life on earth; no plants, no animals, no people, no life as we know it would survive. It’s also about attitude and inner sunshine. Inner sunshine brings with it joy, love, happiness, gratitude, celebration, compassion and more. This song is a celebration of life and all positivity that one can attain with inner and outer sunshine.

New Simplified Sheet Music

A lot of beginning piano players and teachers have been asking me for easy sheet music renditions of some of my more popular pieces.  I decided that I would chose ten pieces and see if I could create simplified versions so that beginning pianists could enjoy successfully performing my music.

Try out this free download of “Peaceful.” I would love to know what you think. And if you like it, there are nine other pieces available on my website.

The Northwest Compassion Tour 2019

This fall, I will be touring the Northwest performing fifteen concerts in seventeen days. The reason why I am calling this tour a “Compassion” tour  is because my mission has recently changed. My new official mission is “to create a more compassionate world by promoting love, peace, joy & gratitude through music.” These higher emotions have helped me be more understanding, more caring, kinder and more concerned about the needs of other people. It is with great joy and gratitude that I announce the following concert dates:
