This has become my favorite Christmas vocal solo. My Dad wrote this at least ten years ago.
I like the minor key for the verses with a great story line about God’s birth to his death followed by a triumphant chorus proclaiming “Hallelujah! Christ is Born!”
Our men of the choir really like singing this piece!
Low to medium range sacred Christmas vocal solo; 4 pgs *Price covers two copies.
The haunting melody of this selection takes our Lord from the manger to the cross.
Last year, I wrote out the following arrangements for my late elementary to early intermediate student who covered for me while I was out of town on a Sunday.
I created arrangements that would be easy for my student to learn in time to play. The student I’m speaking about is our Pastor’s daughter. She is now a true early intermediate and enjoys taking part in our music ministry. I’m excited with her progress! Would love to share what all she’s been doing but will save that for her interview after Thanksgiving.
Each of these arrangements include an introduction. The songs are also in a lower key for the benefit of our congregation. Our congregation sings out SO much more when we lower the hymns. These arrangements can be used for piano solos or congregational singing!
Five Late elementary Christmas congregational arrangements.
Each arrangement includes an introduction.
These arrangements can be used as piano solos or congregational singing.
Song list:
Away in a Manger,
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day,
O Come All Ye Faithful,
Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne,
What Child is This?

Wow! How surprised I was to see Loren & Louise Lustig at my church this past Sunday!
Loren & Louise are a husband and wife team who volunteer of their time to minister through music to various churches in their area as needed for Sunday services, weddings and funerals. I’ve gotten to know them over the years via email correspondence.
They have encouraged me over the years through their playing, emails and now a visit! I also enjoy how Loren & Louise weave hymn lyrics throughout their encouraging notes.
Thanks Loren & Louise for the visit and for the gift of piano CDs! You both are an inspiration to me and keep me writing.
