Kirkpatrick PublicationsThis short collection of 12 delightful and inventive miniatures for piano is intended for any Christmas event in schools and churches. They could be used as musical interludes in the narration of the Biblical nativity story or would be suitable for any end-of-semester events. All the pieces are short and with the exception of the final one, each fits on to a single page. They are written with the intermediate pianist in mind although there is quite wide range of difficulty level between the pieces. They can be performed in any order you wish, or even with different pianists taking part. The titles include: Desert Horizon, Camel Train, To the Evening Star, Pilgrims? Song, Song of the Two Shepherds, The Call to the Stable, Song of the Eastern Kings, Mary?s Lullaby to the Child, Ballad of Mary and Joseph, Dance of the Nativity, Hymn to the Holy Child, The Bells Ring Out.
The audio sample contains the following numbers (1) Desert Horizon; (2) Camel Train; (3) Song of the Two Shepherds; (4) The Call to the Stable; (5) Dance of the Nativity; (6) Hymn to the Holy Child and (7) The Bells Ring Out.
