Why All the Fuss About All is Calm?
All is Calm, All is Bright is a collection of very unique and adventurous holiday and Christmas music. It was published a number of years ago by a small publisher and it is now one of my most popular collections for pianists. The exciting news last year was that we acquired the copyright to the book (did you know that publishers don’t let composers keep their copyright usually?) and we are now publishing it on ComposeCreate.com!
But we only publish a few of the pieces a year. Last year, we published:
- It Came Upon a Midnight Clear – watch the video above on why this was a challenge!
- Deck the Hall Hoedown
- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
And this year, we are super excited about the three new ones we are publishing on Tuesday, October 25th!
Lynnette Barney, Piano Teacher
Deck the Hall Hoedown is a delightful and innovative arrangement. I love the calmer, contrasting B section against the quick and lively A sections. It’s fun to play and fun to teach, and is sure to be a hit at a holiday recital.
DeeAnn Brown, NCTM
If you and your students are searching for innovative, fresh and sophisticated settings of holiday music, be sure to try this collection
