More about this title

Why we love this

Amy Grant's interpretations of these Christmas standards bring a warmth and accessibility that resonates with singers across skill levels. The inclusion of both timeless hymns and contemporary favorites (like "Grown-Up Christmas List") gives you programming flexibility for holiday concerts that reach audiences beyond traditional caroling contexts. The 104 pages of material provide substantial repertoire in one collection, making this a practical resource for holiday season planning.

What to expect

These arrangements balance reverence with warmth, honoring the spiritual roots of hymns like "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" while embracing the contemporary comfort of songs written for modern listeners. The collection moves fluidly between sacred traditions and contemporary secular celebrations, creating a conversational tone that feels personal rather than formal.

Who it's for

This book serves singers and pianists preparing holiday concerts or special performances, as well as guitarists who want to accompany singers through a curated Christmas setlist. It's equally useful for private voice and piano studios, school choral programs, and community ensembles planning winter programming.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal melody against the piano accompaniment by adjusting dynamics at the keyboard; let the singer's voice carry the primary line while maintaining harmonic support underneath.
  • Use the chord symbols to explore different voicings on guitar if you're accompanying rather than playing from the full piano part, adapting the arrangement to your ensemble's strengths.
  • Pay attention to the emotional arc of each song; Grant's recorded versions often feature subtle rubato and breath space that deepen the listener's connection to familiar melodies.
  • Reference the album recordings when learning these arrangements to capture her phrasing and interpretation, then make intentional choices about what to preserve and what to adapt for your singers.

How to use it

Program selections from this collection to create a Christmas concert that spans generations, pairing traditional hymns with more recent compositions that audiences may recognize from Grant's album. Use it as a primary resource for a holiday pops concert, or cherry-pick individual arrangements to complement other seasonal repertoire you're already planning.
