The First Noel for piano solo or ensemble. This is an upbeat 9/8 gospel version with tons of energy. It is harmonically rich and daring in chord progressions. Piece includes a distinct and unique introduction, and development. 4 page arrangement is challenging but not overly so, and well worth the effort to learn. Similar to hymn writing by the greats, Mark Hayes, Bill Wolaver, Mary McDonald, John Carter, Llyod Larson, and Larry Shackley in todays church pianist marketplace. It was used for a prelude for a moment in time. Fun Stuff.
