Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella
with Piano Sonata No. 11, K. 331
A gentle 6/8 meter of the famous piano sonata movement carries this familiar French Christmas carol into an easy-going lullaby. The piece switches back and forth between each tune becoming the forefont while keeping the same classical nature and composition style of Mozart himself on both melodies. The lyrical song soon evolves into an expanded and heightened section with arpeggiations and connecting phrase transitions. This arrangement will bring a warmth and a dash of elegance to your next Christmas gathering.

By Babbling Brooks
An easy-going ballad that seemingly picks up its pace after the melody’s introduction. The repetitive tuplets mimic the waters gently traveling through the brooks. We travel along, going wherever the waters may take us. The transition and key change amplifies the nature of this work, now requiring the right to perform the melody and tuplet patterns simultaneously. This song is a work of serenity that will calm you and your audience at your next performance.
Camptown Races
with The William Tell Overture
How else do you exemplify horse racing from the 19th century than pairing together these two quintessential works from two renowned, yet very divergent composers? Intertwining the famous Stephen Foster tune into the rhythms and cadences of the Rossini classic makes this arrangement a necessity for your piano repertoire.
Christ the Lord is Risen Today
Perhaps the most notable of all Easter hymns is turned on its ear with this bossa nova treatment. The ostinato bass line creates a syncopated rhythm for the melody to dance along. An improvisation section allows for the player to have more fun with the piece. Add guitar, drums and percussion for a more well-rounded experience that will bring new life to your worship music.
