Seasonal Settings that Warm the Heart. Composed by Mark Hayes. Sacred, Advent, Christmas. Lorenz Publishing Company #70/1621L. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.70-1621L).ISBN 9780893286088.
Hayes has written creative, fresh settings of familiar carols that sound hard but are easily played by intermediate and advanced players alike. Special attention is given to smaller-handed pianists…no excessive use of octaves, no large leaps or chords, and thinner but satisfying harmonic textures. However, the trademark Hayes harmonies, modulations and embellishments are still there. Each arrangement is three minutes or shorter, making them perfect for use in services where timing is a consideration.

Good arrangements
This arrangements don't take too much time to master but they sound full and rich . The arrangements have at least two key changes per piece which keeps it interesting.

carols for the intermediate pianist
I only am familiar with about 1/2 of the songs but I really like the arrangements for those I know. Disappointed that there weren't more familiar tunes included.

Mark Hayes consistently puts heart and soul into his arrangements and this book is a great example. Playable, full sounding, delicate where intended. This is truly working for preludes and fill ins. You won't be disappointed. I say int/adv because many int. compositions by other arrangers are pretty simple.

Wonderful Christmas songs not of the common kid. Beautiful arrangements. Takes a little work but well worth it.

Nice Arrangements of Non-Standards
I have found these arrangements enjoyable to play in a worship setting and appreciate the selection of pieces that are different from the standard Christmas carols. I was a little concerned that they would take more practice than I have time, but was encouraged upon reading other reviews, and agree that they are very accessible for the intermediate pianist.

Nice Arrangements
This collection has a nice mixture of familiar and lesser known carols. Hayes' does a lovely job of harmonizing these songs, and they do not take long to prepare. A must for the busy church musician.

Love, love, love this book.
I like every song in this book and can play all of them. They are wonderful arrangements (much like the music of the past which wasn't so complicated but still had a rich sound). Also like the variety of styles.

Mark Hayes: Carols for the Intermediate Pianist
These carols are a little less known and there are some that I probably won't be playing as the congregation wouldn't even know they were for the Christmas season. Otherwise, they are easy enough to play and do sound melodious.
