Amazingly versatile composer Mark Hayes writes artistically for intermediate pianists, but at heart, he is a performer who loves to let the entire piano sing. He was encouraged to do just that in his 2010 book The Art of the Piano, and musicians across the country flocked to these challenging, pianistic arrangements. In this volume, Mark took that same approach to familiar Christmas repertoire, creating a book that skilled pianists everywhere will want to perform at church, school, or by the fireside at home. Level: Advanced
