This is the first book ever of Yuletide music arranged for solo guitar in various open or altered tunings. In this genre of guitar music, the instrument is re-tuned to create a voicing ideally suited for each particular song. 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. All are beautiful, time-tested songs. Includes access to online audio.

A Christmas Fantasy is a fantasia on several Christmas tunes for young concert band. The piece features the famed Bell Carol, God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, O Come O Come Emmanuel, and even quotes some others like Jingle Bells and What Child is This. This piece was premiered in 2012 as an exciting holiday concert closer for a combined 7th and 8th grade band in a gym that was boomy and really loud (but also epic).
