This beautiful English folk song is arranged as an early intermediate piano solo in A minor. Graceful and smooth, it’s a great choice for a holiday performance.
The single user license does not include lyrics.
The studio license comes with two versions: one with lyrics, one without. Both sound the same when played.
This beautiful Shaker hymn is arranged here for beginner piano. Both hands are in F Major position throughout, with occasional finger extensions just one key below or above. This melody has always felt like quintessential American music to me, and its message is perfect for Thanksgiving! Lyrics are included on a separate page.
The beautiful English folk melody “Greensleeves” was immortalized as a Christmas carol by William Chatterton Dix. This arrangement for late intermediate to early advanced piano features a somber sound supported by more minor chords than are commonly used with this melody. The arrangement begins simply and grows in complexity; at its climax, rolled chords and rich harmonies are supported by moving LH arpeggios that eventually transition back to the simpler style of the beginning. It is perfect for a holiday church service or Christmas performance.
I came across this nursery rhyme one day and immediately knew it needed to be set to music. This original composition tells the story of the old woman sweeping the cobwebs up in the sky, with waltz chord patterns and a mysterious descending chromatic melody. Performs well as a recital piece for Halloween or any time of year.
While not originally associated with Christmas, “What Child Is This?” and many other holiday carols are set to this English folk melody. The beautiful, lilting tune is arranged here with a simple, single-note bass line accompaniment. Greensleeves lends itself well to teaching a new pianist about dotted quarter note rhythms and minor melodies.
