Description
Book SynopsisGives players the chance to explore their favourite Christmas songs in jazzy, easy-to-play arrangements. This title gives adults the opportunity to learn the piano with a method devised for them.
Trade ReviewI enjoyed Pam Wedgwood's previous set of arrangements, and am equally impressed with this new collection. The pieces are gently progressive and aimed at players of around Grade 1-2 level. There is a good variety in terms of style, ranging from dreamy waltzes like In Dulci Jubilo and Quem Pastores, through brighter, more up-tempo numbers like Let It Snow and the only duet: Winter Wonderland - and even a couple of old favourites like White Christmas and Walking in the Air. The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy has a Caribbean flavour, and even the more traditional carols get a look in, with a most attractive setting of In the Bleak Midwinter and Adeste Fideles. Something for everyone here and very good value.
