This famous song by John and Yoko—true symbols of love and peace—was originally titled “Happy Xmas (War Is Over).” Opposed to the Vietnam War, they packed it with a powerful anti-war message: “It’s Christmas, and a new year is beginning, so let’s wish for everyone’s happiness.” Celine Dion covered the song as the theme for Titanic and quickly rose to fame.

So yes, let’s wish for a “Merry Christmas at sea,” where even ships no longer sink.

This is the theme song from James Cameron’s epic film Titanic.

Sung by Canada’s celebrated vocalist Celine Dion, this piece evokes the film’s grandeur and moves us every time we hear it.

Many people likely dream of playing such a masterpiece on the trumpet.

It may seem like you could manage it by practicing at a relaxed tempo, but in fact the original key is E major with four sharps—and if you try to play it on trumpet at the same pitch level, you end up with five sharps.

Still, if you approach it calmly, the trumpet is just a matter of pressing valves, so at first try producing notes while keeping a tuner close at hand.

Mark the places in the score where sharps appear and memorize them, and you should be able to play it in the original key! How about tackling this piece in its original key?

He knows harsh winters, ugly conflicts, and war—he knows them all.

But it’s a pure song about how he can’t imagine a life without you.
