The medleys Shepherds and Angels and Christmas Legends combine several favorite carol melodies in bright, attractive settings. You ll find a variety of moods, lush harmonies, and even a few surprises such as a waltz version of Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day and a visit from Tchaikovsky in God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. This new collection is ideal for preludes, special music, and holiday recitals.
