This collection includes six creative arrangements for piano duet (one piano, four hands) to celebrate Christmas at the keyboard. From the tender emotions of "Mary's Lullaby" to the jazzy energy of "Go Tell It on the Mountain," this delightful variety of Christmas carols has something for every holiday occasion. Primo and secondo parts are fairly well balanced in difficulty and involvement, and are accessible to the intermediate pianist. 73 pages. To conserve space and enhance readability during performance, the book is formatted with primo and secondo parts separated onto facing pages. If you're interested in an alternate layout with the parts stacked together on each page (you may find this easier for learning the music), contact the publisher after purchase using the website link below.

The 11 songs in this collection of mixed-level piano duets (for 1 piano, 4 hands) are arranged for a beginning student to play the PRIMO while the teacher, parent, or an intermediate student plays the SECONDO. All notes in the PRIMO are played singly with the hands in one position centered around middle C and then played one octave higher.

Each song is presented in two formats: on a grand staff (a combined score with both piano parts on each page) plus the alternate format with the PRIMO and SECONDO on separate pages.

Most of the songs are written in the key of C major and do not require using flats or sharps. However, there are a few songs in the key of G major (1 sharp) or F major (1 flat). These songs provide practice playing notes on the black keys (either an F-sharp for the key of G major or a B-flat for the key of F major).

These fun-to-learn arrangements are a welcome addition to the piano repertoire for beginning students and suitable for recitals or just some family fun around the piano during the holiday season. Selections include classics associated with the winter holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year?s. Each song is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.
