8 of his best-loved seasonal choral pieces in new transcriptions for solo
piano
The John Rutter Christmas Piano Album brings together eight of the composer's
best-loved seasonal choral pieces as piano transcriptions, made by John
Rutter himself, for performance use or enjoyment at home. Designed for
pianists at early intermediate level, the collection provides skilful and
approachable arrangements of festive favourites such as 'Angels' Carol' and
'What sweeter music' and of the more recent 'Colours of Christmas' and
'Christ our Emmanuel'. The gentle 'Mary's Lullaby', meanwhile, features a
newly written Epilogue, a homage to George Shearing and evoking the style of
this celebrated jazz pianist. Clearly presented and laid out, the
transcriptions also include the texts (lyrics) within the piano score, for
reference or potential sing-alongs. From the composer who has become
synonymous with Christmas, this versatile collection is a joyous celebration
of the season.
