Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.835640 Composed by Richard S. Willis, Frederick Chopin. Arranged by Renee Hyche McKee. Christian,Christmas,Concert,Romantic Period,Sacred. Score. 4 pages. Renee H. McKee #5030195. Published by Renee H. McKee (A0.835640). While out on a winter’s walk one evening, I was thinking through the lovely It Came upon the Midnight Clear, and without any warning, Chopin’s exquisite Nocturne in E-flat, Op. 9, No. 2 kind of crept in and curled itself around the Midnight melody and made itself at home. The result is this gentle mashup of these two beauties in a piano solo.Most of us do not have tons of time to practice, but the original Chopin left hand chords and leaps are daunting, so I have modified the bass notes without losing the composer’s harmonic intentions. Also the original time signature of 12/16 has been changed to 6/8, a more familiar friend and is compatible with It Came upon the Midnight Clear. There are some suggested fingerings in a few places. Use pedal at your trained ear’s discretion.I played this piece as a Prelude for our church Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, and the mood that it set was heavenly. Enjoy, and I hope you or your advancing students enjoy playing this at your next holiday event!

Score. 8 pages. Christopher Alexander #894570. Published by Christopher Alexander (A0.1305142).

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.It Came Upon a Midnight Clear is included in the collection Ten Christmas Piano Solos, Volume 2.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.950926 Composed by Richard Storrs Willis. Arranged by Terrence Niska. Christmas. Score. 8 pages. Niska Music Publishing #6466297. Published by Niska Music Publishing (A0.950926). What if Chopin had written a Christmas carol? It may have sounded something like this. There is a definite pastoral atmosphere to this arrangement, giving it the feeling of one of his Nocturnes. The gently flowing river of the left hand in the first section provides the support for the melody as it weaves its way in and out of the eighth notes of the right hand. The second verse takes a more chordal approach to the music with the tune being played in octaves while the off-beat rhythms provide a french horn-like accompaniment. Suddenly, there is a burst of energy as the chorus rings out in left hand octaves while the right hand gives the impression of a sudden gust of wind. There is a return to the chordal section and ultimately to the flowing river of the opening before a final statement of the melody (though somewhat altered) over a pedal point brings the prelude to a very quiet and peaceful close.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.750192 Arranged by Bradley Sowash Music. Christian,Christmas,Gospel,Jazz,Sacred. Score. 5 pages. Bradley Sowash #6135373. Published by Bradley Sowash (A0.750192). They'll think you're improvisingArranged in a Gospel style complete with all the frills including bluesy right–hand embellishments, big left-hand octave runs, sudden stops, and dramatic dynamics. Originally part of a Winter Hymns collection, now available as a single sheet.Musical Map:Right from the start, they will know this isn't a traditional Christmas instrumental. A fully notated jazz solo will have them wondering whether you are improvising. Then it's back to the melody as it modulates from Bb major to G Major. But it's short lived with the energy lifting once more to C major… before winding down to what seems will be a predictable ending. But wait, a deceptive ending cadence holds back that final tonic chord just a bit longer. Don't be surprised to find your listeners unconsciously moving to the deliciously irresistible down home groove.
