Notes from the composer:

Perfect for a Christmas piano recital, this gorgeous arrangement of "Carol of the Bells" uses a dramatic opening similar to Otoñal, chromatic descending bass line under the famous melody, gorgeous arpeggiated chords, a calming interlude in the relative major, showy arpeggios using the Neopolitan 6 and Dominant 7 chords of G minor, and grand finale.

Special technique for this piece: You will need to practice a multiple octave ascending Ab major arpeggio and a multiple octave descending D dominant 7 arpeggio. Fingering is notated in the score.

Share this exciting show piece with friends and family this Christmas season.
