I don't consider myself early advanced, but these I could play with a little practice. Great music and arrangements.

The arrangements of Sweet Little Jesus Boy and Mary Did You Know are beautiful, and Gesu Bambino is fun to play. I know the title includes the word contemporary but Breath of Heaven and Immanuel are boring to me. Those memories are just not memorable, but people who sing these tunes in church may appreciate them more. Ms. Bober really likes to use the highest octaves on the piano and this gets tiresome sometimes. But as I said, I am happy to have good arrangements of a couple fairly new classics.

When I first got this book, I was somewhat uninspired. However, as the season progressed, I grew to like more and more of the pieces. The pieces are intermediate to late intermediate and can be worked up quickly. I used 4 of the pieces for various Christmas services and probably would have used a couple more (out of 9 pieces). That a success for ANY collection of piano solos. Highly recommend this book.

I was very happy with this book. I am an amateur pianist, over 60, and have played piano for about 50 years. I am sometimes leery of things marked contemporary because they use a lot of intervals that seem disharmonious to my ears. However, these arrangements are all very melodic and useable for the playing I do at my small, local church and the nursing home service.

I bought this for a wedding gift a friend that directs/plays for a church. I of course tried every song and was delighted with the arrangements...so bought myself a copy. Very nice!
