This collection includes traditional favorites, with some interesting twists. However, there is definitely no "advanced" material here. In fact, many pieces would qualify for early intermediate. While I did enjoy some of the material, quite a number of pieces were too easy to add anything, stylistically or harmonically, to my holiday piano books collection. I would suggest this book to an early- to mid-intermediate player without an extensive Christmas book collection, or to someone looking for a Christmas compendium somewhat in the vein of "A Solo A Sunday".
As a piano teacher, I love this book for two reasons. 1) The arrangements are wonderful and so much fun for me to sit down and play. and 2) they are just challenging enough to keep my more advanced/late intermediate students working, but prepared in time for Christmas.
This is a great arrangement book. Most songs can be played by an intermediate pianist if they practice like they should. And any advanced pianist can sight-read this thing, but not so easily that it’s boring. It keeps you quick on the draw with some witty tempos, key changes, and several sharps or flats on some songs. It’s lyrical and lovely, but there are some more staccato, lively pieces as well.
Some of the songs inside include classics like Angels we have heard on high, what child is this, away in a manger, Good Christian men rejoice, and Jolly Old St. Nicholas. Some are the well-known classics of a more global Christmas repertoire that Americans who really love Christmas still remember hearing through childhood, like Polish Lullaby and Il est ne. There are many arrangements of the typical favorites, but if you need an arrangement of a carol or song that isn’t as "overdone," you will find it in this book, for example, Coventry Carol, How Great Our Joy, Bells are Ringing.
Lovely, lovely book. Well done. So much fun to play. I recommend it!
