Angels We HaveHeard on High (minimalist)

Christmas carolarrangement for piano solo with narration by Stephen R Dalrymple

sequenced by thecomposer

� 2018, ℗ 2020 Stephen R Dalrymple

In 2017 I began researching andwriting a university level music textbook explaining contemporary classicalmusic composition techniques. In 2018 I finished the 300+ page manuscript and usedit to teach two university music course in Haiti that year.

It had been many years since I hadtaken the course myself, and needed to add to my knowledge of late 20thCentury and early 21st Century classical music composition techniques.During my research I grew interested in a classical music minimalist styleinfluenced by Terry Riley and Philip Glass. I have tried to use some of theirideas in this composition. There are 10 sections that can be repeated,reordered, and combined so that the performer actually makes a contribution tothe creation of the work.

Playing the piano at church behind areading of Luke 2, was my first experiment in this new form of music. When Ireturned home, I began to experiment in writing down the experience andrefining the work according to these minimalist ideas. The composition could beperformed with or without the narration, with a single narrator in a singlelanguage, or with the narration in multiple languages and/or with multiplevoices.

Suitable for preludes,offertories, concerts, personal meditation. Includes 2 versions 1) piano score,letter size 2) piano score, small pageformat for performing from 10.1 inch tablet. UpdatedDecember 2020.

With this sheet music, you can play the Christmas song "Carol of the Bells" on the piano!

It's a beautiful piano version based on the famous recording on the "Home Alone" soundtrack (arranged by film music legend John Williams).

The full melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect instrumental (piano solo) cover.

"Carol of the Bells" is a composition by Ukrainian composer Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych (1877-1921), who wrote many choral arrangements of traditional folk music.
This piece, too, is based on an Ukranian folk song: "Shchedryk" (Щедрик) is originally a New Year's song, known in English as "The Little Swallow".

It 1921, the song was performed by the Ukranian National Chorus at the sold-out Carnegie Hall in New York City!

In 1936, American composer Peter J. Wilhousky added English lyrics to the song and rearranged the melody for orchestra. Together with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, he is largely responsible for the song's popularity today.

John Williams famously arranged the song for the soundtrack of the 1990 film "Home Alone".
Other famous cover versions were recorded by Richard Carpenter, The Piano Guys, Pentatonix, and Lindsey Stirling.

Today, "Carol of the Bells" is one of the most popular Christmas carols, and it makes for a wonderful piano piece!

Amid winter?s embrace, when the world is hushed and hearts turn toward the timeless traditions of Christmas, music becomes a glorious thread that weaves together the past and present, connecting us all to the wonder of the season as we celebrate Christ?s birth. I am delighted to offer this collection of beloved Christmas carols, ?Harmonious Gifts of Christmas.? As you play through the five piano solos included in this carol collection, you will embark on a musical journey through the heartwarming sounds of familiar Christmas tunes. I have arranged each selection with a blend of tradition and creativity, adding my personal style to these favorite carols.
