We are always price conscious and understand the financial burdens placed on piano teachers, students and performers to continue to grow their own personal music library. With this in mind, we decided to publish a series of 2 in 1 Christmas sheets arranged in a piano vocal (PVG) format that has only the specific title(s) that you are interested in buying this holiday season. Rather than purchase a large costly collection of songs that you may or may not have an opportunity to perform this year, we have provided an inexpensive alternative. For just $4.95, you can buy just those one or two songs you truly want. That's two songs for the price of one! Each arrangement is derived from Santorella Publications' best-selling Piano Vocal Christmas songbook, The Best Of Christmas * Piano Vocal Edition by Jonathon Robbins which is also available with or without a performance CD. If cost is not an issue and you'd like to purchase this fantastic collection, be our guest, but if a big songbook is just not in the Christmas budget this year, now you can buy only those titles you've settled on for your holiday performance. Here's your chance to learn Joy To The World and O Come All Ye Faithful. Please be sure to review our entire list of Christmas song titles available. Every piano vocal (PVG) arrangement includes lyrics and chord box diagrams for guitar so everyone can sing along. Merry Christmas from Santorella Publications! Look at all the great Christmas sheets to choose from: (TS321 - TS333) Joy To The World and O Come All Ye Faithful - We Three Kings and I Saw Three Ships - Carol Of The Bells and O Little Town Of Bethlehem - Deck The Halls and Silent Night - Angels We Have Heard On High and Away In A Manger - Jingle Bells and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Jingle, Jingle, Jingle and O Christmas Tree - The Most Wonderful Day Of The Year and It Came Upon A Midnight Clear - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree and Up On The Housetop - Holly Jolly Christmas and Silver and Gold - What Child Is This (Greensleeves) and Hark, The Herald Angles Sing - O Holy Night and The First Noel - Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer and Jolly Old St. Nicholas.

Composing this piece was an interesting process. A piece of a melody or an idea takes shape, and after writing it down, itas like planting a seed that starts to grow and develop. I got a snippet of a western idea and then thought of a monument in my hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia. The statue is called Madonna of the Trail. The history part of this piece started to take shape as I researched this statue. There are twelve of them located in twelve states where the Old Trail Road, or National Road, passes through. As the piece developed, I started to think about the travel of a pioneer woman and her family passing through various areas of our early country. The 3,000 mile coast-to-coast National road was realized in the early 1900s but was based on six trails that date back to the 1700s. After developing the introduction and theme to this concert band piece, the story began to take shape. The slower 3/4 section melody hints at Greensleeves (What Child Is This) which appropriately weaves itself into the mix. Finally heading further west into New Mexico, Arizona, and California, the melody takes on a Spanish flavor and returns to the main theme before its conclusion. Divisi parts that are optional can be utilized to add a richer sound. Feel free to experiment with octave changes in the woodwinds in the fuller sections, if students are comfortable playing up an octave. Always be aware of the musicality, blend, and especially legato playing when required.

Recognized by many as one of the all-time most beautiful melodies, Greensleeves has long been associated with the Christmas season. The bold and powerful introduction gradually melts away to a tender Woodwind statement of the timeless theme. You’ll find a whole new way to look at this Christmas classic as it gradually builds with intriguing harmonies. Rich and rewarding, this well may be the most beautiful new concert band piece you’ll discover this year.

De bekende Engelse folksong Greensleeves, ook wel bekend als kerstlied (What Child Is This?), is de basis voor dit arrangement. De schitterende melodie wordt krachtig ge ntroduceerd met een fanfare, waarna ze tot rustkomt in de houtblazerssectie. Het tijdloze thema vindt vervolgens zijn weg in fraaie harmonieën en mondt uit in een groots slot. Prelude on Greensleeves is beslist een aanrader.

Greensleeves ist mit Sicherheit eine der schönsten, anrührendsten und auch bekanntesten Melodien überhaupt. Besonders oft erklingt sie zur Weihnachtszeit. Die kraftvolle, forsche Einleitung dieser gelungenen Prelude schmilzt im Verlauf des Stückes hin zu einer zarten Wiedergabe des zeitlosen Themas in den Holzbläsern. Dieses wunderschöne Werk könnte der Höhepunkt in Ihrem nächsten Weihnachtskonzert werden!
