A Peaceful Noel (Reflective Carols for Piano) arr. Lloyd Larson
Masterfully crafted by the always creative and dependable Lloyd Larson, the arrangements in this collection are all peaceful in nature. They are intended to help create a spirit of calm and repose during a busy season, whether in corporate worship settings or in private times of devotion. But most importantly they remind us that the Prince of Peace, the One born of God, has come to dwell among us; to bring hope and tranquility into our world of chaos and turmoil.
Titles include: “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus,” “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence,” “How Far Is it to Bethlehem,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Gentle Mary Laid Her Child (with Infant Holy, Infant Lowly),” “Sing We Now of Christmas (with The First Noel),” “Away in a Manger,” “I Wonder as I Wander,” and “We Three Kings.”
