Late '60s was a time when this was ripe. It wasn't till then that we had traditional Western and jazz streams start coalescing, allowing for Rogers and Costa, both skilled in both streams, to make this happen. I once went through the Real Book and noticed that there were no tunes which had melodies and harmonies diatonic to major. All major key songs have some chromatic notes (sometimes none in the melody, but there are always harmonic situations which demand chromaticism), and all diatonic tunes were modal. Jazz historically did not like diatonic major. As CC notes, these diatonic melodies allow for simplicity and clear delivery of lyrics, but allow for a lot of innovation between the cracks so it lacks the expected blandness associated with diatonic music. And it's very rare to find examples of good jazz like this that is so squarely based on diatonic tunes.

Our society is starved for wholesome content like Mister Rogers. How can you not love it?

Johnny Costa and Vince Guaraldi are probably the two of the most influential jazz musicians of the second half of the 20th century, yet the are almost completely overlooked. For Americans under 60, they represent most people's first exposure to jazz.

Johnny Carson did a Mister Rogers parody sketch, and then invited him on since people thought he wasn't fair. And he conducted one of the sweetest and most respectful interviews on a late night talk show. Utmost respect for the man and for his show.

“You almost want to cry when listening to it” incorrect. I ALWAYS cry when I hear it

I've heard the reason why every performance of the piano was live was because Johnny Costa was a struggling musician that Mr Rodgers had a lot of respect for and he was basically making sure he had a job and could put his son through college. It seems like he was a pretty amazing person and the legacy of his kindness is still rippling out to us even though the man is gone.

@jaycee330

He's wasn't really strugging, but Fred did have great respect for his music. He took the job for two reason, one, yes, it helped with his son's college fund, but also he didn't have to travel far to work. He didn't want to be on the road all the time.

Between Johnny Costa and Vince Guaraldi, I love that children's programming use to be backed by no-nonsense, harmonically rich jazz. What a cool time to get to be a kid in.

I can't think of any other time in life that we get to learn like this except perhaps with oral storytelling. And this was essentially how the whole show was structured. The format was entirely predictable, the themes constant, and the gentle variation from episode to episode reinforced it all.

It’s funny, but even as a kid I thought, “whoa! This music is cool”. I would never, ever miss the opening and closing credits

As a musician of over 50 years, who grew up with “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood “, your analysis brought back wonderful memories, while simultaneously making me laugh once again ,with excitement, at the brilliance of Costa’s work. Where others might fool folks by making something simple sound complicated, Costa effortlessly made the complicated sound simple, using so many devices of the jazz players. Your video showed it all, with a true and loving appreciation of what made the true genius of such a “simple” song. 5 stars, and THANK YOU for doing this one. Simple? Complicated? It’s BOTH… and you nailed it. ❤️😉

I remember as a kid first noticing the music was different each time after a while, and really started looking forward to seeing what new thing they'd do with it the next episode. One of the few shows I ever stuck around the credits for because the music was just so **fun**!

Absolutely! The music on the show always felt live, while almost every other show felt canned (because it was). And it was very high-content music, melodically and harmonically

I’m watching in my office at the University of Pittsburgh, a few blocks down Fifth Avenue from where the show was filmed. Charles, I can confidently speak for this city that we’re all very grateful you’re highlighting these things, and we couldn’t be more proud that Fred Rogers is getting his due as a great jazz composer.

Is there a modern piece of music as humble, friendly, and inviting as this?

I think it’s important to note that Fred Rogers wrote all of the music for the show, including the opening theme. Jazz guitar virtuoso and cast member Joe Negri said Fred wrote all the music, but many times wrote only the melody lines. Costa, would then come along and enrichen the songs to what we hear now. Rogers also wrote 13 operas during the show’s run.

My grandpa was on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood a few times. Hearing the theme brings back fond memories - I miss him dearly. Mime Walker, he was. thanks for making this vid, charles.

My dad worked in broadcast for over 35 years. One year at the NATPE convention, Fred Rogers was there as a guest speaker. Before He had to give his keynote, at the big breakfast they do every year so the bigwigs can schmooze, he got up and asked everyone to think about someone special in their life, and to just remember a fond memory that they had of them. Unassuming Mr. Rogers had hundreds of top-level executives bowing their heads and crying with just his simple sentiment.

I can't play a lick of piano, I can't read sheet music, nor do I know cords by any alphabetical scale, but I love music so much that I'm compelled to listen...and yes, this theme does melt the heart.

His songs always bring me to tears. It's beautifully written AND it brings an amazing feeling that hes singing to every individual person (not just kids). This guy HAS TO BE canonized ASAP!!

Mr. Rogers was also an ordained Presbyterian Minister. He made sure every child was included. His mom made all of his sweaters. And in typical Presbyterian fashion, he marched into congress, told them off, demanded money for both PBS and NPR, and they gave it to him. We need more saints like this.

I didn’t realize how much Mr. Rogers’ theme reminds me of Vince Guaraldi’s music. :) Especially the jazz aspect of the theme. I guess the chords make Mr. Rogers the joy it is to listen to when I was a kid (in the late 70s to mid 80s).

I grew up watching Mister Rogers Neighborhood! This brought back great memories!!

I love, Love, LOVE Fred Roger’s/Johnny Costa partnership and the sophisticated, emotional HONESTY of their compositions. Your deep dive into how they accomplished this is so rich and satisfying. I’ve every expectation that they worked intuitively, calling on their talent and craft to reach a goal, a psychological and emotional destination, a playful, tender and warm, musical hug. I’d enjoy it if you also looked at THEN YOUR HEART IS FULL OF LOVE. It is a much simpler song, but, it’s classic Rogers & Costa on the lyrics and chord progression for “stronger than your fears”! POW! Their ability to gently reveal, draw out, and safely embrace the very heart of an emotion is unsurpassed. Keep up the marvelous work.

Fred literally cannot get any more wholesome. Man's a legend.

And yes, “those” chords sometimes make Grandma tear up for many reasons. ;) Thank you for your theory journeys, Charles.

I absolutely love how the music reflects the same vein of thought of the show. Not going to dumb things down for the kids, but thoughtfully, carefully tell a story, create a mood, communicate a value that on the surface is for kids, but really is universal. Is there another children’s show with better or more sophisticated music??

There are 3 songs that bring me to literal tears: 1. ET theme. 2. Fantasmic (more related to a core memory) and 3…. It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood .

Funny that Mr Rogers, a minister, has Gsus at the core of his music 😅

Proof that children can not only handle but appreciate complex music. Thank you for this video! Loved Mr. Rogers, his music will stand the test of time in my opinion because of its musicality and message combined.

I grew up watching mr Rogers in the very late 1960s. I always loved Johnny Costa's music. In college in the mid 80s, i got to go to a College President"s reception for jazz week. There were about 40-50 people there. Johnny was the entertainment. I was mesmerized. I got to meet him and takk to him. It was so cool. He played for a little over an hour. He finished up with "Is a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood ". He played effortlessness. He seamed so relaxed. One of my favorite memories.

Trolley to the land of make-believe, please. One of the greatest bits of bumper music ever composed

I’m pretty sure I remember Costa crediting Beethoven for the opening idea. Piano Sonata #3 Final movement.

Having watched a lot of Mr Rogers the past few years with my daughter, I’ve gotten such a great appreciation for the quality and volume of music this show produced. “Won’t you be my neighbor” is probably the most recorded song with variations if you add up the hundreds of episodes over decades. Pretty amazing really. Last summer we visited the original set which is in a museum in Pittsburgh and visited the Fred Rogers Institute…man, a ton of nostalgia for an 80s kid like me.

It’s great to have two things I love (him, and your fun musical analysis) together on this fine Sunday afternoon. Just what I needed today. Thanks for being a great “neighbor” in this neighborhood.

mister rogers is someone i will very dearly miss.

Maximum music geek out on Mr. Rodgers. This song is a jazz standard. Love it, even a cappella, because the melody builds it’s own harmonic accompaniment in the listeners memory.

Mr Rogers was a very subtle teacher of Jazz. I enjoy the songs from his show.

Mister Rogers, the most wholesome person ever!

I'm a mediocre beginner at most instruments (minus voice I'm better at and studied in college). I thoroughly enjoy your breakdowns and musicianship.

Follow his example. It's now our job to be the kind of neighbors he showed us how to be. In that way Mr. Rogers will always be with us.

"You almost want to cry when listening to it." You say as I am already deep in the throes of ugly crying to this song lol.

Brit here I never watched or heard of Mr. Rogers until about 2 years ago. We had nothing like him, and I can analyze the music piece from an outside perspective. This just sounds like something you'd hear in a film, in a 1980s romantic film when they sit down to dinner.

Yes, Yes! More Rogers and Costa breaking down what Costa is doing. My favorites are "It's You I Like" and "I Like to Take My Time."

one of my favorite progressions from a mr rogers tune is the end of It’s You I Like. It’s in Bb and Costa resolves it with Gbmaj7 - Bmaj7 - Bbmaj7 and I just love how beautiful it sounds. They really made such high quality music for children and it’s so inspiring to me.

The tritone substitution was so incredibly mindblowing I'm not sure where to even start with it 😍

I'M SOOOO GLAD YOU'RE COVERING THIS! (Sorry for yelling).

It makes me very sad that Mr Roger's isn't around anymore because he was my childhood show, and what is the coolest thing to me is that i live incredibly close to where he was born and grew up and then do his TV show an hour away and then have his burial place in the same place where he was born. For a very long time as I was getting older i had no idea that my most favorite person grew up and lived a short 90 minute drive from me and i never got to meet him.

As a music major, I am so happy I found this. So thankful that I was blessed enough to grow up during this era. Thank you for this trip down memory lane! You play so beautifully!

Thank you for that. I have always said I discovered jazz listening Peanuts specials and Mr Rogers. Your playing of "It's you i like" brought some happy little tears. Beautiful.

Charles Cornell brilliantly dissects the musicality of Mr. Rogers Theme Song a la Johnny Costa. Watching episodes that are inextricably interwoven with the show's theme music variations are more than a cure for an ailing soul. Having said that, I am more than realizing what an overlooked genius Mr. Costa was. Heck, Fred Rogers was no slouch in this department either. I could watch this presentation a zillion times and never get enough of it - Bravo!

Charles my goodness your appreciation and explanation of this was remarkable man! You literally brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face at the same time! You are blessed!!!!! Thank you brother!

I'm returning to the piano after 15 years completely without one (played quite a lot, both straight and jazz, from ages 5-22, have a musicology degree), and though this stretched me to dig up what was left of the music theory that is buried in the depths of my brain storage, it made my heart happy to hear this song and these chords. Thanks for this, you've earned a subscriber today.

The magic & the jazziness is reminiscent of White Christmas, later used in All I Want for Christmas is You, with the Ab use. I love the chromatic ii-V as it sounds like it's going to change key (up to Db) but doesn't. Gives you a great feeling of 'coming home'.

I fecking love this song... ...and as a 5 year old first starting piano (wow...that was forever ago) ...I was so mad at the song for being so complicated. I could barely play ode to joy and here's mr. rogers making stuff impossible for my ear to pick up. No wonder now that I have a lot more theory under my belt.

I slowed the video down to half speed so I could study the way Charles is voicing his chords in depth. His speaking sounds like he is some super stoned surfer guy. It’s amazing. Try it. You won’t be sad.

Im going to sound like such a sycophant but im just watching this video with my jaw dropped. Ive just finished my first semester of music theory and i am equally amazed by the genius of chord progressions

I would like to point out that in the section that you are covering around the 15-minute mark in your video, those unique chords also make a stunning example of word-painting, since the unique chords are both on the word 'you' in the lyrics: just incredible accompaniment of the lyrics!

Man, I barely understand anything you're talking about (that's on me), but I love your enthusiasm and excitement over the chord choices, that 100% comes through

Great episode! I love being able to explore songs of such genuis harmony in the home base key of C. It's a great way to get better at understanding harmony and you do a great job of explaining it.

He played for about an hour. Numerous Mr Rogers toons as well as other Jazz . He flowed one into the next while talking to us while playing. For a college event it was a limited #of people there, maybe 50. The last thing he played was It's a "Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood ". I remember shaking his hand after he finished. One of my favorite memories from college. (I got to meet quite a few cool people that visited the college. My two favorite people that I met were Johnny, Costa and Gene Roddenberry.
