Mary, Did You Know?

Digital Sheet Music

Trickier than I thought it was going to be. It has a lot of synchopated timing (which, in all fairness, it needs in order to sound right; it's not just there for the sake of being difficult). Beautiful, but I also got fairly cross with it. One thing that...

could have been better was that it jumped around a lot. Two repeats with a page turn for each, then a DS al coda requiring another page turn... and then another very quick page turn after the first two bars of said coda. If you've got a way to get the music onto your stand as a five-page spread, do so. About the level: I'm an intermediate/advanced pianist. I've played for about twenty years, but I only took lessons until I was good enough to play pretty much anything I wanted to play. An intermediate/advanced person with a teacher to help should have less difficulty with this piece than I did. PS. If, like me, you like the sound of synchopated timing, you might also like "The Last Unicorn". That's got it, too - but it's easier.

This is a very pretty arrangement of this wonderful song.

Used this as a Christmas special music selection for my church. Was very easy to learn and I enjoyed playing this arrangement !

Pretty, somewhat easy arrangement. I enjoyed playing it. I used it as a preservice piece for church.
