Over the years, there have been several collections in print for the famed Charles Schultz characters. These are starting to go out of print, many were considered to be collectables. The most recent collection now out of print was the well-known "Charlie Brown Piano Party," which has been removed from this page. When titles go out of print, as soon as we run out of stock the title is removed, so everything below is available.

Original music for the cartoons (movie and TV) is by Vince Guaraldi, some songs by Dave Grusin and Dave Brubeck (vocal score for the musical by Clark Gesner), as well as quite a few public domain titles. We have had inquiries regarding these collections, as much for the fun music as for the Schultz artwork. Publishers are Warner Bros., Hal Leonard, and MPL.

Charlie Brown Greatest Hits
Piano Solo
$14.95

Piano Solo arrangements by Lee Evans. Around the intermediate level, but there's quite a bit of jumping around on the keyboard, as well as some left hand 10ths. Fair version of Linus and Lucy, but if you're an upper intermediate player looking for this particular piece, the best arrangement is in the Tom Roed Vol. 1 collection, found on thePiano Transcriptions page.
But overall, this is a good collection, containing songs at this level not found elsewhere.

The Peanuts Illustrated Songbook
Intermediate+ Piano Solo
$19.95

From the back cover:
"This coffee-table quality songbook is a celebration of the art of Charles Schulz and the music of Vince Guaraldi. Within its stunning full-color, high-gloss pages are an introduction by veteran music journalist Hank Bordowitz (19 pages), which provides background on how the Schulz/Mendelson/Guaraldi collaboration came to be, and reflections from fellow musicians influenced by Guaraldi's music; and piano solo arrangements of 30 terrific tunes, each featuring a Peanuts illustration by Schulz."

This collection contains Vince Guaraldi arrangements, as well as his original compositions. A few of the songs do have lyrics (the Christmas songs), but consider this primarily for piano solo.
Overall, this is an exceptional collection, with a thorough history of the growth of the Charlie Brown series of cartoons and specials, and how they were in large part made possible by the music of Guaraldi. Highly recommended collection containing the most authoritative arrangements. - RV

It's about time. . .
Finally, note-for-note transcriptions of Vince Guaraldi, including the complete "Linus & Lucy" and the equally famous "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," along with his arrangements of other well-known songs.
Overall, the arrangements are not too difficult technically, and could be handled by intermediate level pianists with a bit of work.

Great arrangement of Mel Torme's "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire," as well as a very effective "Linus and Lucy."
Contains several full-page Schulz drawings of the Peanuts gang.
