This mid-intermediate Christmas piano sheet music for “O Holy Night†embodies the traditional favorite elements yet adds extra color and textures with inner voices and chords. A highlight of this intermediate arrangement of “O Holy Night†is the polyrhythms of 2 against 3. It adds an intentional new touch to the arrangement and provides piano students with an excellent opportunity to master polyrhythms. The friction of the polyrhythms in the first verse releases to the freedom of regular triplets in the second verse (with only a few subtle duplets sprinkled in the chorus). This “O Holy Night†intermediate Christmas piano sheet music contains two verses (8 pages total) in the keys of B-flat and C. This piano sheet music is similar in level to most Level 3 and Level 4 piano books and ABRSM Level 3. Fitting for Christmas services or Christmas recitals for both piano students and piano teachers. The basic format of this arrangement: introduction, verse 1, interlude with modulation, verse 2, modulation, ending. Musical Elements in O Holy Night Intermediate Christmas Piano Sheet Music Solo - Keys of B-flat and C - Inner voicing - Polyrhythms (2 against 3) - Ledger lines Practice tips for “O Holy Night†For students who struggle with the polyrhythm section, have them practice tapping out the rhythm separately (duplets and triplets) then together, mixing up which hand has the duplet and which hand has the triplet. It is important, especially in this arrangement, that the polyrhythm falls naturally and doesn’t feel forced. This arrangement is © 2022 by Amanda Tero, www.amandateromusic.com.
