"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" has got to be one of the most classic Christmas songs of all time. It was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane for the 1944 movie "Meet Me in St. Louis", starring Judy Garland. According to an interview with the writers in 1989, when Judy first read the words she refused to sing it because the words were too depressing. Martin and Blane revised it, and that version was used in the movie. This piano solo is written for advanced intermediate level, and begins with a beautiful, flowing style, full of rich chording, and changes into a "piano bar" style, with a single line melody in the R.H. and bass and chords in the L.H. The melody is written using many triplets and a swing rhythm that is similar to the way it is sung by many famous artists. There is lots of helpful fingering, making many passages flow with ease. Pedal this song about every 2 beats to maintain a clean sound. Arranged by Amy J. Snyder. Visit AmyJoMusic at www.facebook.com/amyjsnyder7and#65279;.

Build My Life is a terrific, worshipful contemporary Christian song with a great message: "Worthy of every song I could ever sing...I will build my life upon Your love, it is a firm foundation." This is an advanced intermediate level piano solo, containing arpeggios in the L.H. and single melody line, 3rds and 6ths in the R.H. The arrangements builds toward the bridge then comes back down to worshipful tones at the end. The bridge is repeated several times with each repeat a little different in difficulty.

This is a very dramatic arrangement of O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus for advanced intermediate piano solo. The intro, interlude and ending are borrowed from Bach's 2-part Invention in A minor. The hymn begins quietly and simple, but builds in intensity by the 2nd verse with bass octaves, chords, and arpeggios and R.H. 3 and 4 note chords. Use rubato on the quieter sections for a very moving performance. LOTS of helpful fingering added (especially the Bach sections!). This tune of the hymn is an old Welsh melody that is very haunting; it blends with the Bach invention very nicely. Great arrangement for church prelude, offertory or special music; impressive recital piece, too. Arranged by Amy J. Snyder. Visit Amy at https://www.facebook.com/amyjsnyder7.
