Duets For Two Acoustic Guitars-The Christmas season has always been special to me. It is a season that has crystallized the hopes aspirations and faith of millions of people through the centuries. The amount of music written for Christmas is monumental.This book contains 14 scores from my Christmas Guitar Portraits recording. I selected various genres dear to me.First there are selections from the early American sacred song tradition. The Babe of Bethlehem Cherry Tree Carol A Star in the East The Shepherd's Star A Virgin Unspotted and I Wonder As I Wander all are from this rich heritage.I also picked a number of carols from theOld English genre. Away In The Manger Green Grow'th the Holly and What Child is This are included.Then there are the Christmas favourites. In the Bleak Mid-winter and a medley ofBaloo Lammy; The First Noel and Silent Night make any Christmas complete. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is one of my favourite Advent hymns. Gaudete Christus est natus is arousing carol dating back many centuries.Finally I included two originals. Lullay My Liking is an ancient carol text. Many composers over the centuries have written melodies to these lyrics most notably GustavHolst. I could not resist the temptation so the melody here is original. Finally Christmas Prayer is a new composition. I have always wanted to compose and arrange music designed to bring the Plectrum or Flatpick Guitarto the concert stage. These arrangements were written with that in mind.

Uses: Christmas Christmas Eve Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 John 1:4 This intimate portrait of the Holy Family in the moments after the birth of Jesus has a delicate innocence that touches the deepest places of the heart. An endearing melody floats like a simple folk song capturing the spirit of this manger scene. The appearance of the traditional carol Venite Adoremus offers a moment of sincere worship. In silence deep as snowfall Mary rests at last. Joseph holds her close with tender grace. Kneeling at the manger their hearts begin to sing lost in wonder love and praise.

Uses: Christmas Concert Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11; Luke 2:1-14 Written in 1962 during the Cuban Missile crisis this modern mega-hit is a plea for peace and an affectionate portrait of the spirit of Christmas.

The choral writing is surprisingly approachable yet the sonic impact is significant and fulfilling. A lasting effect is achieved with brilliant pacing and a daring crescendo. Anew classic!
