Note the tempo markings at the beginning of the piece of music and where the main part of the song begins. These are guides to show you how fast to play each part of the music. On most recordings, the introduction (naming the reindeer) is somewhat slower than the main part of the song. In basic terms, the markings tell you to speed up a bit after the introduction. It is not intended to be an exact beats per minute (BPM) instruction.

Below is a simple bassline for the song using only one note at a time. Most of the time it just plays one full note (semibreve) per bar, with the exception of bar 28 which contains two half notes (lows).

To inject a bit of movement into the piece, here is a walking bass line made up of quarter notes (crotchets) or eighth notes (eighth notes) and quarter notes (crotchets).

The bass line in the introduction follows the melody in sync and uses descending sequences of fifth intervals. So we move from the beginning F to C, then E and B, D and A, C and G, then down to A and E, G and D, F and C, and then down to lower C and G.

The octaves then take over with a couple of E’s, then As in the next bar, up to Ds, followed by a series of four quarter notes from G to D, helping the transition from the end of the intro to the part major. of the song.

Bar 28 has two different sets of octave steps. The first starts at D and the second at G.

In the final version of Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, I added three-note chords to the right hand for fullness and richer harmony.

There is usually a chord to play on the first beat of each measure. Try to hold the lower notes of the chord while playing the melody above it. Using the sustain pedal will really help smooth out the sound.

You’ll notice that the bass line has changed slightly at bar 25 to add a bit of interest, moving between different sections of the song.
