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.
