Carol Duets for One Piano - Four Hands. Composed by Lani Smith. Sacred, Christmas. Lorenz Publishing Company #70/1558L. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.70-1558L).ISBN 9780893288518.
Lani Smith excelled in many musical genres for worship, but perhaps his creative best was in the area of keyboard duets. For this piano-four hands collection, he adroitly infused traditional carols with easy-to-play jazz elements that create a freshness to our ears while lying comfortably under the fingers. Designed for players of equal ability, this seasonal collection is equally appropriate for piano students, recital halls, and worship services--an imaginative and inspired addition to any piano library.

Cool & Jazzy
These are fun arrangements - each of us took the book for a while to learn our parts for Go Tell It - and were finally ready to play on Christmas Eve. We hope to start earlier next year to prepare others - and then we'll switch parts for even more fun. The congregation really appreciated this different style of music from the worship team.

Easy to play, sound nice
These are so easy - you can just sit down and sight-read them - but they sound a lot harder than they actually are. Very nice arrangements. Will definitely use throughout the holiday season!

Great arrangements
These Christmas carol arrangements by Lani Smith are a wonderful addition to the Christmas piano duet repertoire. The jazz arrangements are both fun to play and a delight to hear. My duet partner and I between us have 130 years of playing the piano and we both of us agree whole heartedly with the thoughts of the two previous reviewers!

Fresh and Lively
Each number in this set of 8 jazz arrangments of traditional carols is pure delight, and a welcome addition to the duet literature. Both parts are equal, with syncopated eighth note rhythms, a few triplets and some sixteenth note passages. Sophisticated sounding and especially appealing for adults or high school students.
