About this arrangement

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.750198 Arranged by Bradley Sowash. Christian,Christmas,Jazz. Score. 33 pages. Bradley Sowash #6606527. Published by Bradley Sowash (A0.750198). Thirty lead sheets of holiday classics Having spent more than 30 years making a living solely as a performing jazz pianist, I spent much of December dashing about from corporate parties to concerts to home singalongs to worship services with a big pile of Christmas sheet music books. Along the way, I scribbled in *reasonable (not overly complex or esoteric) jazz chord substitutions, meter, groove and key changes likely to be enjoyed by casual listeners. Here then, are my modified lead sheets compiled into one fake book that I hope you will as a springboard to bringing your own twists to holiday gigs, recitals, and lessons. * To be clear, while I enjoy reharmonizing tunes with unexpected substitutions, extended, and altered chords that advanced jazz pianists enjoy, this collection is for ‘regular’ pianists, teachers, and students looking to add a little zest to Christmas favorites.ContentsAngels We Have Heard on High - Funk - G MajorAuld Lang Syne - Medium Rock - F MajorCarol of the Bells - Medium Up Swing - A minorDeck the Hall - Latin - C MajorGo Tell It on the Mountain - Medium Boogie - G MajorGod Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Medium Swing - D minorGod Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Up Tempo Swing - D minorGood Christian Men, Rejoice - 6/8 - F MajorGood King Wenceslas - Early Rock Boogie - F MajorHark, The Herald Angels Sing - Funk - F MajorHere We Come A-Caroling - 6/8 - D MajorI Saw Three Ships - 6/8 - G MajorIt Came Upon a Midnight Clear - Heavy Gospel - Bb MajorJesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child - Medium Shuffle - F to G MajorJingle Bells - Medium Up Swing - G MajorJolly Old Saint Nicholas - Medium Ballad - F MajorJoy to the World - Fast Boogie - C MajorO Christmas Tree - Medium Swing - F MajorO Little Town of Bethlehem - Medium Shuffle - F MajorOver the River and Through the Woods - Jazz Waltz - C MajorPatapan - Swing Ballad - G minorSilent Night - Even Ballad - C MajorSing We Now of Christmas - Medium Rock - D minorThe Conventry Carol - Slow Jazz Waltz - G minorThe First Noel - Medium Rock Ballad - C MajorThe Holly and the Ivy - Even Ballad - F MajorUp On the Housetop - Medium Up Swing - F MajorWe Three Kings - Up Tempo Swing - E minorWe Wish You a Merry Christmas - Jazz Waltz - G MajorWhat Child Is This - Jazz Waltz - E minor This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
