This is BOOK 1 in the "Blessings Abound" collections of Easy Piano Duets. The 12 songs in this collection of easy piano duets (1 piano, 4-hands) are arranged for a beginning student to play the PRIMO while the teacher 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. The PRIMO and SECONDO parts are on separate pages (combined scores with PRIMO and SECONDO on each page are only available when purchased individually, not in this collection). The PRIMO part can also be played as a solo when played as written, centered around middle C.

These fun-to-learn arrangements are a welcome addition to the piano repertoire for beginning students and suitable for a first performance in a church setting. Selections in this first collection include a mixture of holiday themes (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Birthday), familiar hymns and choruses, non-seasonal favorites and several originals. Lyrics are included on the PRIMO part. All the songs in this collection are also available separately and include preview pages and audio samples.

A tender and emotional lullaby for the baby Jesus from a loving mother who must have had some understanding of both the sorrow and the glory that were to come for her little one. This arrangement takes the original melody (major key) and adapts it to a combination of minor and major keys to capture the different layers of emotions. One piano, four hands. Purchase price is for two copies so you and your duet partner can each have one. 4 pages for each part, or 10 pages for the combined score. The PDF download contains both layouts so you can play from the one you prefer. Performance time: approximately 4:00.
