Published by Pietro Prugna (A0.497955). Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is a beautiful song for Choir, String Orchestra and Tromba. This is an arrangement for 2 pianos. As the range of the Tromba/Soprano overlaps with Violin 1, some of the melodies are hidden in each other. Violin 1 is 1 octave higher in this arrangement. Piano 1 plays the Violin 1 melody on the right hand and parts of the strings (except continuo) on the left. Piano 2 plays the Choir/Continuo. Occasionally, the right hand plays some parts of Strings, when the Choir is silent.

Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.785642 Composed by Various. Arranged by Grant Horsley. Children,Christmas,Praise & Worship,Religious,Sacred. Score. 7 pages. Grant Horsley #4894983. Published by Grant Horsley (A0.785642). These 6 short pieces are for the young pianist.(6 pages) They have been written in a 5 finger hand position C-G right hand and Middle C-F with the left. I wanted to arrange them so instead of a simple melodic line, the melodies are split between the hands(retaining the five finger position), but they also incorporate some elementary harmony to add a little more interest.They are very easy arrangements and should also benefit students who have just begun piano playing and not very advanced, yet still want to be involved playing at Christmas time! The pieces are: Good King Wenceslas, We Three Kings, Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, O Come all ye Faithful, Jingle Bells and We wish you a Merry Christmas

(+)
Composed by Public Domain, as performed and recorded by Isadar. Arranged by Isadar. Contemporary Classical, Neo- Classical, Christmas, Recital, New Age. Sheet Music Single. 8 pages. Published by Mainya Music Publishing
Contains:<br> "Greensleeves 2012"<br> - taken from the Isadar solo piano collection, "O Christmas" (also available on SMP)<br> <br> Sounds like: Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas," Liz Story's "The Gift," George Winston's "December," legacy Windham Hill solo piano artists, "A Winter's Solstice" compilations.<br> <br> Note: “Greensleeves 2012” is a revisited and evolved arrangement which like my earlier version, was inspired by – and also pays ‘homage’ to – Liz Story’s brilliant take on this timeless piece.<br> <br> Transcribed by: David Shenton ( https://www.shentonmusic.com/ ) verbatim to the sound recording<br> <br> Album review by: Michael Diamond (http://michaeldiamondmusic.com):<br> <br> Fresh on the heels of his highly acclaimed chart-topping CD, Reconstructed, Isadar gifts us with a sparkling new album of holiday-themed instrumental music for solo piano, entitled “O Christmas.” Given the proximity to his recent release, one might assume that this one was quickly produced, but in reality O Christmas has been 7 years in the making. Various circumstances including other recording projects, a segue into the field of video production, and a cross country move from NYC to the west coast and later back again, created delays with the completion of the album. But as they say, “good things come to those who wait.”<br> One of the most interesting things about this album is the fact that the selections are traditional Christmas songs, yet some were chosen because they are less well known, or “off the beaten path” as Isadar characterizes them. This follows the pattern set by his 1999 Christmas album “In Search For The Meaning Of Christmas,” yet this new CD mines even deeper in its quest for interesting and unusual choices.<br> <br> The album begins with a track called “Good Christian Men.” Steeped in history, the song dates back to 14th century Germany and its Latin title was originally “In Dulci Jubilo” before it was translated into English in the 1800’s. Isadar’s interpretation creates a lively and festive air that makes a perfect portal to the recording. The high-spirited mood continues on the next song, “Teddy Bears Picnic,” which although not technically a Christmas song, has been interwoven by Isadar with “March Of The Toys” to tie it in with the holidays – a clever arrangement of these intriguing melodies. One of the more well-known carols on the album is “O Christmas Tree” and is sure to have listeners humming along with it’s familiar refrain.<br> <br> A track entitled “Still” is an innovative rendition of the classic “Still, Still, Still” which Isadar has put his own spin on, or as he jokingly puts it “jazzed up shamelessly.” No such liberties were taken on the classic “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” however. This song provides a showcase for Isadar’s accomplished grand piano work, featuring lush left hand arpeggios creating a strong foundation for his more delicate right hand melodies to dance upon – a powerful and moving combination. Another of the less well known, yet equally inspiring tunes is a Puerto Rican carol entitled “Song Of The Wise Men.” It has been said that: “Christmas is, above all, a children’s holiday, and many hymns are addressed to children, reminding them that the real reason for the sugarplums and Christmas trees is the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child.” This theme is well reflected in Isadar’s choice of “O Come Little Children,” based on a carol from the 1800’s.<br> <br> Among my favorite tracks on the album are the wistful strains of “Greensleeves 2012,” which Isadar interprets with elegance and grandeur and also pays ‘homage’ to Liz Story’s brilliant take on this enduring composition. This is followed by a rendition of “Masters In This Hall,” which can best be described as, well… “masterful.” The song dates back to the sixteenth century, and is another of the less well-known tunes that Isadar has chosen to feature. The album draws to a close with Isadar invoking artistic license on what is perhaps one of the most unique and liberal versions of a classic carol heard here yet. Based on “We Wish You A Merry Christmas,” Isadar characterizes it as “an uninhibited melancholy arrangement.” While I don’t know if “melancholy” is the word I would use to describe it, it does have a pensive quality and is presented more as a nocturne than usual lively carol it is known as. I really liked the interpretation and respect Isadar’s creativity and distinctive rendering of the song.<br> <br> “O Christmas” is an exceptional holiday collection, not only for Isadar’s elegant grand piano artistry, but as well for the interesting and sometimes unexpected repertoire contained within. Like ornaments on a tree, the songs adorn the album, enhancing its beauty with their diversity, individuality, and timelessness. Given the well-deserved accolades and popularity of Isadar’s distinctive piano style, I’m sure that fans will want to include “O Christmas” in their collection and make it a part of their holiday tradition.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.835644 Composed by James R. Murray, Johannes Brahms, and William J. Kirkpatrick. Arranged by Renee Hyche McKee. Children,Christian,Christmas,Concert. Score. 4 pages. Renee H. McKee #5995123. Published by Renee H. McKee (A0.835644). I never get tired of looking at the manger scene during the holidays and thinking about the way God chose to bring Himself into the world. The amazing story of Jesus’s mercy and forgiveness began for many of us in the songs of Christmas; I think Away in a Manger is the most innocent and tender of them all. Two melodies have been written for this song; I have used both tunes here, along with a touch of a famous lullaby you are certain to recognize! The double bar lines show where each Away in a Manger melody begins, and each section could be used as a tiny piece of music itself. As an entire piece it is beautiful as a Christmas-time prelude, offertory or a holiday recital piece for an advanced intermediate to advanced student. The simple lines of the melodies take turns being played by right and left hands with one instance of a hand crossing. A few fingerings are suggested in the various accompaniment patterns, and pedaling is left up to your sensitive ear. Large hands are not necessary to play this piece; a tender touch will make it glow. Allow the ending to linger...it will satisfy you and your listeners with a sense of peace.

Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1138014 Composed by Various. Arranged by Nicholas Palmer, ASCAP. Christmas,Holiday,Instructional,Religious,Traditional. Score. 35 pages. Nicholas D Palmer #738288. Published by Nicholas D Palmer (A0.1138014). Twelve traditional carols have been transcribed and arranged for adult piano students who are in their first few months of playing the piano and reading music. Children will be able to play all the melodies and most of the two-part arrangements without physical strain, but there are other piano methods designed specifically for young pianists’ needs that were not taken into consideration for this collection. The carols come in two versions, one with melody only and the other with an independent left hand part. Many of the melody-only scores are able to be played with just one hand position. For the two-part scores, both hands will need to shift. The left hand parts have been written so that there will be no more than five adjacent ascending or descending notes before the direction of the line changes, allowing for just small shifts in finger or hand placement. Look for more collections of carols arranged for beginning players at this same site. In this collection: Angels we have heard on high Away in a manger God rest ye merry, gentlemen Hark! The herald angels sing Joy to the world O come, all ye faithful O come, O come Emmanuel O little town of Bethlehem (Redner) O little town of Bethlehem (Kingsfold) Silent night The first nowell What child is this?

Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.966758 Composed by IL EST NE, UN FLAMBEAU JEANNETTE ISABELLE. Arranged by Dillon Ekle. 20th Century,Christian,Christmas. Score and parts. 21 pages. Dillon Ekle #6110795. Published by Dillon Ekle (A0.966758). This advanced duet is primarily inspired by the carol He Is Born, but also contains many references to Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabelle. Both melodies are explored in several minor modes before He Is Born is finally presented in its familiar, major tonality.Careful pedaling is essential to keep the running lines clear and to allow staccato articulations to pop against legato melody lines. The melodies move through several ranges of the keyboard and across both players, requiring the musicians to be aware of balance within their own parts and across the instrument.The PDF file is formatted to be printed double-sided. Once printed and bound, odd numbered pages (including the cover page) should be on the right (where the primo player sits), and even numbered pages should be on the left (where the secondo player sits). Alternatively, if two pianos are being used, the file can be printed single-sided and the parts separated out; the primo player will have the odd numbered pages, and the secondo player will have the even numbered pages.

Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.966751 Composed by STAR IN THE EAST (from The Southern Harmony). Arranged by Dillon Ekle. 20th Century,Christian,Christmas,Sacred. Score and parts. 9 pages. Dillon Ekle #3068529. Published by Dillon Ekle (A0.966751). Brightest and Best is an original piece based on the hymn tune STAR IN THE EAST (from The Southern Harmony), most commonly used with the text Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning. As such, the arrangement is well suited to use in the Christmas and Epiphany seasons. However, the tune's general appeal make it a great addition to worship in any season, as well as use in concert or recital settings.In addition to the main hymn melody, this piece is woven through with original counter melodies and rich harmonies. Through much of the piece, flowing, running 8th notes and rhythmic bass lines maintain motion beneath the soaring melody. The second verse slows down with a quarter note motif reminiscent of change-ringing bells, keeping an open and ethereal sound with building anticipation before the interlude melodies return in full force for the conclusion.Most of these features and ideas appear in both the secondo and primo parts in this 1-piano, 4-hands piece. Both parts are of similar difficulty, and because the melodies are found anywhere from the middle voices to the top voices, care is needed to keep the ensemble balanced at all times for a musical performance.A preview performance can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnIo4rnHizUThe PDF file is formatted to be printed double-sided.
