Everyone at Santorella Publications is extremely sensitive to the costly demands placed on piano teachers and their tenacious students. With this in mind, we decided to publish a series of Christmas sheets for easy piano with only those specific titles that you and/or your student(s) have decided to perform for their holiday concert, recital or maybe just for family and friends. Rather than purchase a large costly collection of songs that you may or may not have the opportunity to perform this year, we have provided an inexpensive alternative. For just $4.95, you can buy just that one, two or three songs that you truly want to learn this holiday season. That's three songs for the price of one! Each arrangement derives from our best-selling Christmas songbook, The Best Of Christmas For Easy Piano by Craig Stevens which is also available with or without a performance CD. If cost is not an issue and you'd like to buy this fantastic collection, be our guest, but if a big songbook is not in the budget this year, that's quite alright. Why not choose only those titles you've settled on for your Christmas performance? Here's your chance to learn O Come All Ye Faithful, Deck The Halls and The Snow Lay On The Ground published by Santorella Publications. Be sure to review our entire list of songs available for easy piano and yes, every one includes lyrics to sing along. Merry Christmas! Look at all the great Christmas sheets to choose from: (TS301 - TS313) O Come All Ye Faithful, Deck the Halls, The Snow Lay on the Ground - I Saw Three Ships, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Angels We Have Heard on High - We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Angels From the Realms of Glory, We Three Kings - Jingle Bells, Silver and Gold, Away in The Manger - Jingle, Jingle, Jingle, Joy To The World, Bringing the Season's Cheer - O Christmas Tree, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, The Coventry Carol - Holly and the Ivy, Good King Wenceslas, Away in a Manger - The Most Wonderful Day of the Year, Up On the Housetop, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day - Holly Jolly Christmas, Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem - Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, What Child Is This?

Kaleidoscope will save you time! Do you spend hours arranging music for odd assortments of instruments? Kaleidoscope is specially arranged to suit almost any instrumental combination and these varied ensembles are easy and enjoyable too. So much scope for virtually any combination of instruments! The series is successful with recorders, guitars, percussion and keyboard as well as with orchestral groupings. Whether there are five or fifty players, every Kaleidoscope title will work! Just make sure that melody and keyboard parts are included - all other parts are optional. Kaleidoscope is superb value for money - each set contains a score plus around 50 parts, each one carefully written to suit the needs of each instrument. For example, easy string parts are in first position only whilst easy clarinet parts take care to avoid the break. There are more demanding parts too, for experienced players. To help you choose the right pieces for your players we have given the key of each Kaleidoscope in brackets. The complete performance option! These super-flexible arrangements of well-known titles are a must for every school. Why not choose a theme for your concert and perform a selection of Kaleidoscope show titles and film themes or have an evening of classical favourites? Bumper pack contents: 'Deck The Hall' (F), 'As With Gladness' (G), 'Patapan' (Gm), 'Good King Wenceslas' (G), 'God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen' (Dm), 'Away In A Manger' (F), 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' (G). Edited by Nicholas Hare.

The musical effect of Prarie Lullaby should be graceful and serene, evocative of a peaceful night on the open plains. To that end, players will need to strive for an unlabored rhythmic flow, smooth bowing and a clear, steady tone as close to p as possible. Beginning at m.39, the violin and viola parts are marked pizzicato. If young players are unable to return quickly to argo at m.53, they may make the bow preparation easier by taking a full measure rest at m.52. This option is marked in the parts and score. The divisi notes at m. 69 are provided for ensembles which lack violas. Ensembles with violas may have them play the lower notes while the second violins play the upper notes. Percussion, which is completely optional, should be very subdued. Choose a bell mallet which allows the tones to be heard just above the strings. the woodblock part is intended to imitate the clip-clop sound of a horse's hooves. Two different sizes of woodblocks or temple blocks are needed. Finding two suitable sounds on one woodblock is difficult. Again, the right mallets are very important. The suspended cymbal should be played with brushes if the string ensemble is small. If the suspended cymbal with brushes cannot be heard above a large number of strings, then sticks should be used instead. The percussion part can be performed by one player, provided the instruments and mallets are set up properly and the player has the skill to make the transitions smoothly. Note the optional rest at mm. 53-54.
