This is BOOK 1 in the "Blessings Abound" collections of Easy Piano Duets. The 12 songs in this collection of easy piano duets (1 piano, 4-hands) are arranged for a beginning student to play the PRIMO while the teacher or an intermediate student plays the SECONDO. All notes in the PRIMO are played singly with the hands in one position centered around middle C and then played one octave higher. The PRIMO and SECONDO parts are on separate pages (combined scores with PRIMO and SECONDO on each page are only available when purchased individually, not in this collection). The PRIMO part can also be played as a solo when played as written, centered around middle C.

These fun-to-learn arrangements are a welcome addition to the piano repertoire for beginning students and suitable for a first performance in a church setting. Selections in this first collection include a mixture of holiday themes (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Birthday), familiar hymns and choruses, non-seasonal favorites and several originals. Lyrics are included on the PRIMO part. All the songs in this collection are also available separately and include preview pages and audio samples.

Song titles included in this collection:
All Things Bright and Beautiful
Always Cheerful
Amazing Grace
Birthday Blessing
Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
Christmas Is
Count Your Blessings
God Loves You
Jesus Is Coming Soon
Let It Shine Medley

An arrangement of this popular Christmas Carol melody for trumpet duet and organ, the melodic Organ Pedal part provides a third melody line which helps create a brass trio texture. The two trumpet parts are more advanced as they require the players to confidently play up to High Concert C. The organ writing is on two staves and is no more than intermediate in difficulty level. This arrangement would be an ideal Postlude for Christmas services, and is also splendid duet repertoire for advance College trumpet players. The full score downloads with individual parts attached. Enjoy browsing my extensive selection of trumpet and organ and trumpet duet and organ arrangements available for download on SMP.
