It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

This arrangement for the intermediate pianist gives a classic Christmas carol new life with warm harmonies, the sounds of sparkling moonlight, and a moving 6/8 meter. Also listen for the appearance of a lovely melody inspired by Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 in E-flat Major, which blends effortlessly with the carol.

- Starts in the key of E-flat Major and modulates to C Major
- The reflective quality of this sparkling piece paints a perfect picture of a peaceful, clear night
- Features a surprise appearance of Chopin's theme, seamlessly incorporated
- Lovely, subdued, reflective
