New sheet music pdf:
Hymn for Peace Piano solo (2 hands!) from A Handfull of Quietness, is now available in downloadable pdf format. At a late intermediate playing level and very suitable for use in church. Listening & sheet music samples here. $3.00. Add to cart.
New, for piano left hand alone:
Londonderry Air Piano left hand arrangement of the gorgeous Irish folk song (aka Danny Boy), created for concert pianist Keith Snell and now available in downloadable pdf format. This is advanced piano playing — your left hand will need to be flexible and very lyrical to play this arrangement. But we think the results are more than worth the time and care you will put into learning Londonderry Air, as this is the kind of arrangement that gets that lovely wistful “aahhh” response from an audience. It has been known to steal the show. $3.00. Add to cart.
Christmas carols (for The Rebirth of Light, scroll down)
Once in Royal David’s City Piano 4-hands arrangement of the Christmas carol. Late intermediate level for both players; excellent legato and ability to voice the notes will make this piece sing. Suitable for use in church. View sheet music sample in sidebar. $3.50 Add to Cart
Deck the Halls A jolly syncopated arrangement of the Christmas carol Deck the Halls. Frankly, you need some chops for this. Lots of syncopation, staccato repeated chords, and a jazzy walking bass make this “not your grandma’s” Deck the Halls. Recommended for late intermediate piano players. If you do have the chops for this, you’ll be able to wow your friends at the Christmas party! Listening & sheet music samples here. $3.00 Add to Cart
