wow
this is song a truly beautiful. This arrangement has the prettiest chords. The fingering gets a litle tricky at some parts, but when you play the whole song together, it sounds absolutely divine! i really think that if you want to play an arrangement of this piece, you should play this one.

The fingering is just plain awkward
The piece is beautiful and the chords are wonderfully arranged. However, keep in mind that this piece was never composed for the piano. I have found that the fingering for this piece is extremely awkward in both the right and left hands. Even people with large hands will find this piece cumbersome. I find that while trying to play the base with my left hand, i have to constantly use my thumb because my pinky has to anchor the bottom note. It sounds beautiful but is tremendously awkward to play. I do not recommend this piece.

Outstanding
I have purchased about 10 different versions of this song and this is my favorite for several reasons: 1. The chords are beautiful. It was the closet thing I could find to the version peformed by George Winston on his album December. 2. The notes are within the range of a 77 note keyboard for those of us that don't have a grand piano. 3. It photo copies well onto letter size paper if you want to spread the single sheets out on your piano. 4. The CD has a beautiful recording at both regular and slow tempo and is worth the $7 alone. Don't be scared off by the fact that it's only 4 pages. They made it fit nicely on the page rather then stretching it out to a 10 page book like other companies. It is still a 4 minute song.
