Robert D. Vandall's four duet fantasies on classic carols have now been compiled into one spectacular collection. These extended fantasies incorporate exhilarating rhythms and unexpected harmonic changes, making them fantastic performance vehicles for early intermediate to late intermediate pianists. Careful balancing of the primo and secondo parts gives both performers a chance to shine. Titles: Carol of the Bells * Deck the Hall * Jingle Bells * Joy to the World. / Ensemble Music, Miscellaneous, Piano Music, Scores / Recueil / Piano

This clever partner song introduces Christmas tunes including 'Jingle Bells' and 'Ding Dong Merrily on High' and combines them with an original melody. It will be a welcome addition to your holiday concerts.

The Six Easy Pieces arranged by German composer, conductor, and organist Christian Gottlob Neefe (1748--1798) are inspired by the original vocal/orchestral score of The Magic Flute. These pieces are idiomatic piano duets (one piano, four hands) that remain faithful to the original composition. Filled with wit and charm, they contain many of the memorable elements of the opera: Papageno's magic bells, gentle love duets, tenderhearted trios, and lively arias. Based on the 1793 first edition, Neefe's dynamics, articulations, and phrase marks have been preserved. Editorial suggestions have been given in parentheses and footnotes to aid in performance. / Piano 4 Mains

What a mixed-up, mixed meter, crazy and fun arrangement of 'Jingle Bells!' As the lyric states, 'The melody's the same- the rhythms, they are not.' / Choeur TTBB

Qu'est-ce qu'un arrangement mixte-up, le mètre mixte, fou et amusant de 'Jingle Bells!' Comme l'indique le lyrique, 'La mélodie est la même- les rythmes, ils ne sont pas.' / 2 Parties Mixtes

Mozart's 'Rondo alla Turca' is the basis for this innovative twist on 'Jingle Bells!' Your audience will love catching the rapid text as the familiar and sequential melody is volleyed through the choir. Pierpont's rarely-heard third verse is a hoot. 'Oh, what fun it is!' / Choeur TTB

Gian Carlo Menotti (1911--2007) is best remembered as an opera composer and founder of three international performing arts festivals. Menotti has left behind a lasting legacy of lyrical and accessible music. Poemetti: 12 Pieces for Children was first published in 1937. These descriptive pieces demonstrate Menotti's celebrated lyric gift as well as the careful craft that characterizes his work. Taken as a whole, the set can be seen as Menotti's version of an 'Album for the Young,' recalling images of his colorful childhood in Italy. These brief compositions are varied in meter, tempo, character, texture, and technical demands and are suitable for developing the musical imagination and keyboard facility of pianists at the intermediate level. The collection is pianistic in style, with each piece serving as a miniature technical etude. The titles are evocative and aid the performer in conceptualizing a convincing interpretation. / Piano
