9 Favorite Christmas Arrangements Collection, with Chord Symbols
$25.00
This collection brings together nine expressive and musically satisfying Christmas piano arrangements designed for early intermediate through advanced pianists. These solos explore rich harmony, varied textures, and stylistic contrast, making them ideal for recitals, seasonal studio performances, and church settings.
All of the arrangements in this collection were created using the techniques discussed in the 20 Favorite Christmas Songs Lead Sheet Method Book, supporting musical understanding alongside confident, polished performance.
Each solo can be enjoyed purely as a performance piece — or studied as a learning tool. Students and teachers can look beneath the surface and ask: What patterns are being used? What style is being suggested? How do dynamics shape the mood? How does pedaling enhance the character? Analyzing these elements helps players deepen their understanding — and then bring those ideas into their own music making.
This collection includes the following solos: Angels We Have Heard on High, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, What Child Is This?, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Away in a Manger, Deck the Halls, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, In the Bleak Midwinter, and O Come, All Ye Faithful.
Key Info
