* octave sign;
* clef changes;
* staccato and legato;
* accents.

The hands maintain a five finger position as movement up and down the keyboard utilizes the hand over hand arpeggio approach.  There is also a one piano four hand version available under the same title.  Listen to the entire piece on YouTube.   ASCAP

March of the Dragons

This is a new, elementary level, piano piece based on the original hymn "The First Noel." This essay, in the key of C Major, has a melody which is accompanied by an alberti bass. Both the left and right hands move gently from the basic five finger hand position and incorporate necessary fingerings which facilitate the moves. The music also incorporates some arpeggiations at the cadences. This is a softly moving piece incorporating some minor chord in the progression giving it an almost folksy quality. Its an excellent change of pace for your student's next holiday performance.

Essay on The First Noel

St. Nick Swings

The First Noel

This arrangement begins in a traditional chordal fashion but with new harmonies and added syncopation to freshen it up. quartal voicing was added during the portion of the hymn that has that single repeated note which is always left unharmonized (its just enough harmony to add flavor and but keep the original intent). The second section uses 16th notes as the predominant mode of locomotion. The piece finishes up with a swing version that contrasts beautifully with the classical nature of the first two sections and completes this arrangement. Listen to the entire piece on YouTube.
