Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.976719 Composed by English Carol. Arranged by Robert Myers. Christian,Christmas,Sacred. Score. 5 pages. WheatMyer Music #4794843. Published by WheatMyer Music (A0.976719). This solo piano setting of the beloved Christmas carol applies fresh and distinctive harmonies to the traditional melody. A haunting, and slightly dissonant, introduction sets a contemplative mood that heralds a unique approach to the carol. Set in ABA form, the A sections contain lush harmonies and delicate lyrical phrases which contrast with the syncopated and ornamented melody of the uptempo B section. The work is within the grasp of the intermediate to advanced pianist without extensive rehearsal but still contains sufficient challenge to provide a rewarding experience for performer and listener alike. THE FIRST NOEL is an excellent piece for offertory, instrumental praise, candlelight service, or any occasion reflecting on the miracle of Christ's incarnation during the Christmas season.
