Description:
Series: Piano/Vocal/Guitar arrangements
If you're familiar with Natalie Grant - winner of this year's recent Dove Award for Best Female Vocalist - you are probably already aware of this special CHRISTMAS ALBUM.
If you're NOT familiar with Natalie - or if your store 'typically has a hard time selling Contemporary Christian personality folios' - please read on!
This is an amazing collection of ten Christmas songs - sacred and secular - with wonderful piano accompaniments. Here are the contents:
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (in a big band swing style, including instrumental break)
O Come, All Ye Faithful (in a fairly traditional vocal solo arrangement, but with interesting chord changes and modulations below)
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (in a fun swing arrangement, with boogie-woogie style accompaniment and transcribed piano solo)
I Believe (an original by Natalie Grant; quiet ballad)
O Little Town of Bethlehem (low-key, ethereal arrangement)
Joy to the World (Long intro in slow Gospel feel; breaks into a great swing style.)
What Christmas Means to Me (upbeat swing; cover of the old 60's classic, also recently covered by Hanson and Jessica Simpson, though this arrangement is actually, well, musical)
Medley: Silver Bells (the Christmas classic)/Savior Came for Me (short section from a Grant original)/O Holy Night (the Adolphe Adam standard, complete with key changes and bombastic ending)
One Child (ballad)
Sweet Little Jesus Boy (The gospel favorite, a short a capella arrangement for solo voice - alto range - and SATB.)
This book is highly recommended, especially for intermediate-advanced piano accompanists who have a hard time finding unique and enjoyable arrangements of these songs! ©2006, 88 pages
