The Christmas Song / Songs of Jacob Collier / 2021 Plans
Added 2020-11-29 14:42:29 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
I'm so happy to share three updates with you!
1) I did a full transcription of Jacob Collier's latest arrangement of "The Christmas Song" written in the classic Jacob style. These arrangements are my favorite to transcribe and it was good fun!
2) Many of you probably have heard the news by now, but "Songs of Jacob Collier" piano-voice arrangement book is now available on Jacob's website. The book features 19 original songs written by Jacob between 2015 and 2020. Jacob and I worked hard on the book for the past six months and we're so excited for you to make the music yours! We started in May with the aim of finishing it by the end of July, but it took way way longer as we wanted to ensure the best quality. We're very proud and happy about how it turned out. The book is currently sold out, but there have been discussions about reprints. Please stay tuned.
3) For me, the most exciting part about writing "Songs of Jacob Collier" with Jacob has been our conversations, which have all been recorded! The 30+ hours of recorded footage ranges from serious musical discussions, silly chitchats, and everything in between. We're planning on releasing documentary-style YouTube videos on a monthly basis starting December. There will also be unedited footage available only for Patrons!
With this change, starting January 2021, my Patreon will switch from the current tip-per-creation model to a monthly model with five different available tiers: $5/month, $4/month, $3/month, $2/month, and $1/month. This has been on my mind for a long time since the release of Djesse Vol. 1, because I've felt my usual way of meticulously notating every detail would interfere with the songs' delivery. I will continue to transcribe, but I foresee there will be an equal amount of video editing that will be done in the near future. I understand the sudden nature of this change - if you have any question, please let me know. I am happy to answer any of them!
Thank you for your patience and support. In the meantime, please enjoy our 2-minute unedited conversation about arranging "Once You" :)

Hi June - any idea if/when/how reprints will be available? I was too slow...
2022-02-27 14:28:13 +0000 UTCI've played it every day since arrival. It contains such a great range of difficulty in arrangements. Fantastic work as always, June and Jacob. This book will bring me years of joy and inspiration.
