It’s the most magical time of the year. Fresh white snowflakes swirl outside your window until the whole world looks like a glittering snow globe. Inside, the fire crackles and the house smells like baking and evergreen. And you can hear the most lovely sounds - the oven timer rings to announce that shortbread cookies are ready, tissue paper rustles as presents are wrapped, and Christmas music fills the air with bright excitement.

A performance favourite, book includes suggestions on how to make this an interactive performance to teach students and your audience alike about counterpoint. This truly is a thrilling listening experience, both for performers and audience! One piano, six hands.

Jolly Pachelbel - Jolly Old Saint Nicholas and Pachelbel's Canon

Rebekah Maxner

Categories: Piano Duets, Seasonal

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas and Pachelbel’s Canon, arranged together in a piano duet for beginner and teacher (Early Elementary plus Early Intermediate duet part).

• Main book plus two removable practice sheets:
• Pre-staff sheet with music and words
• Early staff sheet without words (Early Elementary, Prep A)
• Duet/accompaniment — Intermediate (Level 4)
• Score comes with two arrangements: In F to accompany pre-staff, and in C to accompany early staff

This is a special arrangement of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, in which the melody of this well-known Christmas classic is matched with a reduction of the equally famous and loved music from Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D.

This Christmas arrangement appeals to piano teachers and their young beginning students. Two versions are included with the Teacher Package, pre-staff (Jolly Pachelbel in F) and early-staff (Jolly Pachelbel in C). The teacher chooses the appropriate arrangement depending on the reading level the student has achieved by the Christmas recital.
