Masterful Solos for Christmas by Mark Hayes. Composed by Mark Hayes. Sacred, Christmas. Lorenz Publishing Company #70/1771L. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.70-1771L).ISBN 9781429125215.
The amazingly versatile composer Mark Hayes writes artistically for intermediate pianists, but at heart, he is a performer who loves to let the entire piano sing. We encouraged him to do just that in his 2010 book "The Art of the Piano," and musicians across the country flocked to these challenging, pianistic arrangements. In this volume, we have asked Mark to take that same approach to familiar Christmas repertoire, creating a book that skilled pianists everywhere will want to perform at church, school, or by the fireside at home.

Wonderful collection
This collection has amazing arrangements of many wonderful Christmas pieces. Hayes does so much to spice up and liven these arrangements. Ding Dong Merrily on High has been particularly fun. The arrangements are reverent but still fun to play. I would recommend this for any advanced church pianist looking for solid Christmas music.

Love It
I've been a fan of Mark Hayes for some time. This book is as good as the others, with a good variety of styles and songs, and is at a good level of difficulty for me--challenging but not too difficult. I would recommend this book to others.

Mark Hayes, Great writing
Hallelujah Joy is a fun mix of Joy to the World and the Hallelujah Chorus with a gospel beat. Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light is a marvelous arrangement of the hymn Bach made famous. Way to go, Mark! Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring was a bit disappointing, but everything is so good, it's hard to be too critical. Everything else was absolutely lovely and well written!

Great Christmas Music
The best thing about this collection is that each of the songs is set in a different style, using a different collection of piano techniques. So each song is unique, and yet characteristic for its nature. The settings are challenging for non-pianists, but the variety makes the collection worth having. A good contribution to the piano player who needs to present Christmas music to a demanding audience.
