This collection is divided in two parts. Tunes one through five are playable as a single medley. Modulation interludes connect the pieces for continuous performance. Tunes six through ten are organized in the same fashion. If you have the time and stamina, all ten work equally well for a set of approximately thirty minutes. And, of course, any single piece may be played as a solo with a complete cadence at the double bar.
The lyrics are provided at the back of the book.
Prepare yourself for the season. Delight both young and old. These tunes are timeless. And above all — Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas!”
