We Wish You a Merry Christmas! Cha-Cha-Cha!

Piano Solo for Intermediate

Arrangement by Susan Staples Bell, ASCAP

Susan Staples Bell has been a Piano Instructor for over 30 years. In all her compositions, she strives to educate as well as delight. This arrangement of ?We Wish You a Merry Christmas? is certainly unexpected! Shall we, ?Cha-Cha-Cha??

Written for Intermediate, this arrangement features a quicker tempo, running eighth notes, broken chords figures, parallel sixths passage, and syncopation. The piece begins with a lively syncopated Left hand bass line that sets the tone throughout. The melody arrives in measure 9 (Right hand) and matches rhythm with the Left hand. The ?B? section comes in measure 17, which offers a smoother feel for contrast. Check out the fun, broken chord interlude at measure 25! In measure 48, the parallel sixths passage offers an opportunity for ritardando and a fermata, making the audience wait?.until one more time for the broken chord interlude! Measure 57, gives the last statement of the melody, in a rising a climax for the end.

Not to mention, it?s JUST PLAIN FUN!

Perfect choice for recitals! Christmas Piano Solo
