One of my viewers recently asked permission to play my arrangement of The First Noel for her church since they were livestreaming their service.

She did such a wonderful job that I just had to share it. Tamara played it slower than I would have but I kind of like it that way because it allows for more note clarity and expression.

Thanks Tamara Kim for your wonderful playing.   You are a blessing!  Beautiful expression too!

I just published an early advanced Christmas piano solo of “The First Noel” in the key of C Major.  This arrangement, containing two verses, would be easy to learn for the average church pianist.

The First Noel

Early advanced Christmas piano solo, 4 pgs. Approx. 1:57 min.

Price: $3.50

I plan to post a new advanced Christmas piano solo arrangement of “The First Noel” tomorrow.  This particular arrangement is also on my “Simply Christmas” Cd.   *The bell instrumentation will not be included in this arrangement.

Most of my arrangements on this CD were spontaneous… by ear.  It has been a challenge for me to put these songs into written form.  When I play by ear…I don’t always play correct/balanced harmony…so I”m forever grading/correcting myself as I see on paper what I really played.  (ouch!)

“The First Noel” has such a soothing melody.  I enjoyed putting this one down in writing 🙂

I wanted to share this free piano arrangement of The First Noel.

Natalie Wickham of Music Matters Blog arranged this easy piano duet of The First Noel. Natalie gave me permission to post an audio of her arrangement but I will share the link to her blog for this nice piano duet.

This free arrangement would be nice for a beginning piano student to play with a teacher or more advanced piano student.

The arrangement is short but would work well in the smaller church. You could always play it two times for a longer offertory.
