The Art of the Piano, Volume 2. (Masterful Solos for Christmas by Mark Hayes). By Mark Hayes. For piano. Sacred: Christmas. Advanced. Collection. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.70-1771L).
Advanced - Amazingly versatile composer Mark Hayes writes artistically for intermediate pianists, but at heart, he is a performer who loves to let the entire piano sing. We encouraged him to do just that in his 2010 book "The Art of the Piano" (70/1719L), and musicians across the country flocked to these challenging, pianistic arrangements. In this volume, we have asked Mark to take that same approach to familiar Christmas repertoire, creating a book that skilled pianists everywhere will want to perform at church, school, or by the fireside at home.

So each song is unique, and yet characteristic for its nature. The settings are challenging for non-pianists, but the variety makes the collection worth having....
