An original composition for solo fingerstyle guitar, using a partial capo. Performance details included in the music. Composed for my mother's passing in October 2020. When I began writing this piece back in October, it was about the turning of the leaves during our colorful Fall season here in Central Virginia. But, when my mother went into Hospice care, the piece quickly turned to her. The short 16th note hammer-ons, which were originally supposed to represent the falling and dancing of the leaves, now represented the leaping of my mother in heaven, free from her earthly body that confined her in her last years. The piece takes a somber turn toward the end, fading out with harmonics that never resolve, much the same way one feels losing a loved one.

"Jingle Bells" was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822?1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the fall of 1857. Interestingly, the piece had no connection to Christmas originally and its association with the holiday season only began decades after it was first performed by performer Johnny Pell in Ordway Hall on September 16, 1857. Many sources hint a the possibility that "Jingle Bells" was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir.

The version presented in this edition is arranged for solo guitar in Fingerstyle/Classical guitar style. The score remains faithful to the original melody but with some pleasant additions and idiomatic writing for the guitar. No details have been left out and the score is made with lots of care.

This piece is a perfect choice for early intermediate and intermediate guitarists, and especially for students that are playing in a Christmas recital. The score includes both Notation, Tablature and Chords.

? Great Versatility : Notation, Tablature and Chords included!
? Includes the outer section of the piece that is most often left out!
? This version is arranged for a "Fingerstyle/Classical" type of playing! It cannot be played with a pick.

This book contains ten Christmas tunes and covers five open tunings that give voice and life to the music of the Yuletide season. The arrangements include old standards, like Silent Night and Joy to the World, and a sprinkling of more obscure tunes, such as Am Weinachts Baum die Lichte Brennen.
