I’ll Be Home for Christmas
with Largo from New World Symphony
The feeling of home is never more profound than around Christmastime. Being with friends and family, enjoying the season and expressing merriment to others, home is definitely where the heart is. This standard classic (first made famous by Bing Crosby) is known all over the world, and has now been adapted into a new piano solo arrangement combined with perhaps the most recognizable movement from the Romantic-era Czech composer Antonin Dvorak’s well-known work, the Larg movement from his New World Symphony.
I’ll Praise My Maker
Do you want a challenge playing in 11/8 meter? Here’s your chance! This familiar melody is given a slightly new treatment that will delight performers and audiences alike.
I’ve Been Working On the Railroad
You have never heard the famous folk song played like this before! So many interpretations of this song from other composers have played the melody straight-forward, but this arrangement paints the picture of the railroad. With staccato strikes resembling the hammering of nails to build the tracks and an ostinato pattern that mimics the speed of the wheels, this arrangement will take you and your audience on a joyride you will not forget anytime soon. You can even blow the whistle (or at least play it on the piano) as you perform this work.
In the Garden
Written in the style of Romantic composers such as Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann, this new version of the Easter hymn is given a supportive triplet-figure base and melodic embelishments that create a whimsical experience for the performance and audience alike. The song progresses to create a stronger effect in its lyricism and harmonic voicings. This tender yet affectionate arrangement brings a restored emotional sense to this classic tune.
Infant Holy
This familiar Polish folk melody, used in the famous Christmas hymn, gets drawn out and allows the held notes to illustrate the holiness and grandeur of people seeing the newborn Jesus for the first time. Take your time and envelop yourself in the music of this arrangement at your next worship service or performance.
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
While many people are familiar with the melodic tune by Richard Storrs Willis, a different setting of the beloved Christmas carol was written by another composer Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert and Sullivanfame). These two melodies have become intertwined and partnered into this arrangement. Beginning with the Willis melody then followed by the Sullivan, the key change brings both melodies together seemingly acting as countermelodies at times to each other. This lyrical arrangement will bring a renewed spirit to your Christmas celebrations.
