Jazz Moods for Christmas

Carol Duets for One Piano - Four Hands

By Lani Smith

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.

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!

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!

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.

My duet partner and I love this book, as did our congregation. Easy enough we didn't have to work too hard but complicated enough to sound impressive. Our congregation asked for more!
