2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.996518 Composed by Henry John Gauntlett. Arranged by James Mayhew. Christmas,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score. 10 pages. James Mayhew #4969389. Published by James Mayhew (A0.996518). This is a piece for two pianos (4 hands), which starts out with the Once In Royal David's City theme, and then there are 5 variations on it. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd variations are in G major, while the 4th and the start of the 5th ones are in G minor. The 5th variation is an extended variation with a fugato start in G minor which transitions back to G major again for a triumphant final play of the theme, and a small coda. It is quite challenging - probably early advanced level, particularly the 5th variation, although the other variations are more like late intermediate level.
