This is a collection of 17 Christmas carols arranged with the less-experienced pianist in mind. Versatility is a descriptive term for this collection. Each carol is arranged with the option of being played individually or in conjunction with the next carol in the collection. In essence, the book can be played as one entire medley, if desired. The optional endings provide the pianist with a choice to conclude after any given carol or segue to the next one in the book. This even works with the final carol, enabling the performer to return to the book’s first arrangement, making the entire book a completed circle.
