Brad Powell is a talented and highly trained California guitarist and composer who calls himself The Candlelight Guitarist, and for good reason. His music is perfect for situations in which candlelight figures prominently. Quiet meditation, romance, intellectual stimulation – the soft, pure tones of his Spanish and classic instrumental style open up your heart and render it more receptive to the spiritual messages that these pursuits engender.

Chord melody arrangement of the classic Christmas carol.

This arrangement is a straight ahead chord melody in the key of C minor.
It features a minor cliché intro and medium swing feel. A great piece for those learning the chord melody style and would like a minor jazz waltz in their repertoire.

We Three Kings is arranged for classical guitar and is an addendum to my book, Classic Hymns for Classical Guitar. We Three Kings is a favorite Christmas hymn arranged for solo classical guitar. This hymn is arranged to accommodate guitarists with a skill level of advanced intermediate to early advanced level. Bruce J. Patterson serves as Adjunct Professor of Guitar at Welch College and Allegro School of Music in Nashville, Tennessee. My arrangement preserves the unique style of the original composer and is adapted and modified for guitar to produce a worshipful expression of adoration for the inexpressible gift of the birth of Christ.

An exciting arrangement of eight popular swinging xmas carols arranged for Guitar & Piano; in an up-beat and somewhat jazzy manner. This challenging set of carols, offers players in general, something very different for those Christmas concerts and recitals, give them a go, and I am sure that you won’t be disappointed!

The set includes: Ding Dong Merrily On High, Silent Night,We Three Kings,Away in a Manger, Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Deck the Halls & Good King Wenceslas.

The part is all written out with jazz inflections and articulation included. The Piano part is all written out, but also includes the jazz chords for players who wish to comp. These Carols are playable by moderately advanced performers and are perfect for parties, church services, busking & recitals. Range is very moderate, nothing high at all.

Need an anthem fast? They are ALL in my store! All my anthem arrangements are also available for Orchestra, Recorders, Saxophones, Wind, Brass and Flexible band. If you need an anthem urgently for an instrumentation not in my store, let me know via e-mail, and I will arrange it for you FOC if possible!

Reviewer Chet Heflin Date 29th Sep 2006

Bluesy Xmas! Keith Terrett has done an outstanding job of injecting jazz and blues into these holiday favorites. The writing beginning in measure 13 of Ding Dong Merrily On High is outstanding. Check out the wonderful contrast in movement between the flute and bass. This arrangement of Xmas carols would be a wonderful addition to any future holiday program. Well done Keith! Have fun! Caroling (singing carols in the street) is one of the oldest customs in Great Britain, going back to the Middle Ages when beggars, seeking food, money, or drink, would wander the streets singing holiday songs..

Jazz guitar has a long and rich history in worship settings, but there are few transcriptions of of sacred pieces available for intermediate guitarists. Too often the guitarist is presented with the choice of playing from a fake book, or taking the time to arrange the pieces to suit. With this in mind, here are seven sacred songs arranged for the intermediate guitarist. The arrangements are unique - for example, Silent Night is arranged in 5/8 in the style of Dave Brubeck. Arrangements include:

Amazing Grace
Precious Lord, Take My Hand
Just a Closer Walk With Thee
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus (Hyfrydol)
Lo How a Rose is Blooming/Silent Night
We Three Kings

The arrangements are suitable for playing in a worship setting, or just for the fun of playing something different in the jazz language.
