Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory is part of a growing collection of Americana Miniatures, short, mostly instrumental arrangements of characteristically American folk music. This arrangement is set for four trombones, or three trombones and tuba, but is also suitable for any combination of four low brass instruments in ‘C’. The music is instantly recognizable and appealing to broad audiences and playable by musicians of moderate skill.
The First Noel
$7.99Traditional English Carol
For Solo Piano
This solo piano setting of the beloved Christmas carol applies fresh and distinctive harmonies to the traditional melody. A haunting and slightly dissonant introduction sets a contemplative mood that heralds a unique approach to the carol. Set in ABA form, lush harmonies and delicate lyrical phrases contrast with the syncopated and ornamented melody of the uptempo B section. The work is within the grasp of the intermediate to advanced pianist without extensive rehearsal but still contains sufficient challenge to provide a rewarding experience for performer and listener alike. The First Noel is an excellent piece for offertory, instrumental praise, candlelight service, or any occasion reflecting on the miracle of Christ’s incarnation during the Christmas season as well as being perfectly at home on the recital or concert program.
