[Christmas Songs] Soothing tones: A special collection of music box arrangements!

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.
Composer/arranger, guitarist, and bloggerSaitō Ayumu
I started playing guitar in elementary school, and in junior high and high school I played the horn in the concert band. In college I became engrossed in composing and began using DTM. These days, I provide songs to artists as a composer, run a blog under the name “Sakki,” and post music lesson videos on YouTube. My musical roots are in rock, but I also love dance music!

Once December arrives, Christmas songs start playing everywhere—from city streets to TV shows.

When you put on music yourself, you’re probably often looking for Christmas songs too.

But when you’re in the mood for something mellow rather than party-like, it can be surprisingly hard to find the right tracks.

That’s why we recommend music box arrangements of Christmas songs.

In this article, we’ll introduce many music box versions of Christmas classics!

Enjoy these lovely tunes and savor your special moments.

[Christmas Songs] Soothing Tones: Special Music Box Arrangements! (41–50)

Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells/Christmas Song [Music Box]

Jingle Bells

As a quintessential Christmas song, it’s sung all around the world.

It was actually composed in 1857.

Originally, it wasn’t a Christmas song; it was reportedly written for a church Thanksgiving service in November.

Although it’s now widely associated with the sound of Christmas bells, it seems that at first it referred to the bells attached to horses.

A familiar song widely known as a Christmas nursery rhyme.

When arranged as a music box tune, even nursery rhymes you wouldn’t normally listen to somehow sound romantic.

It’s music that instantly brings a Christmas mood, whether in a home with children or in an adults-only space.

A slightly slower tempo arrangement enhances the atmosphere even more.
