Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus
    
    Piano Solo for Intermediate
    
    Arrangement by Susan Staples Bell
    
    
    
    Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus is set to the much loved Welsh tune,
  Hyfrydol by Rowland H. Prichard.  
  Its perfect for the Liturgical time of Advent, as the Church prepares
  for the arrival of the Christ child, but also anytime the Hyfrydol tune is
  needed. In the text by Charles Wesley: he states, hope of all the earth thou
  art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.
    
    
    
    Advent. Preparation. Waiting. 
  Waiting is something we have all experienced. Waiting to grow up.
  Waiting to get married. Waiting to find the right job.  Waiting to  find joy &amp; peace.  
    
    
    
    This piece incorporates those moments of waiting as We wait in joyous
  expectation.  Notice several measures
  where phrases with ritardando that leave us a little time to ponder, then
  gives way to a tempo, which brings a sense of longing and anticipation. The
  piece is in the key of Ab Major, just as the original was in 1830.  It begins joyously with the first statement
  of the melody appearing in the left hand, then in the second statement, moves
  to the right hand for a more gentle, slightly syncopated version. Easily
  accessible for the Intermediate pianist.
    
    
    
    Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus.

What Child is This?
    
    Piano Solo for Early Intermediate
    
    Arrangement by Susan Staples Bell, ASCAP
    
    
    
    Susan Staples Bell has been a Piano Instructor for over 30 years. In all
  her compositions, she strives to educate as well as delight. She enjoyed
  writing the arrangement of iWhat Child is This?i for Late Elementary,
  that she created a version for Early Intermediate. Both arrangements capture
  the mood of a mysterious, cold winteris night.
    
    
    
    Written for Early Intermediate, this arrangement gives plenty of repetition
  to help the student feel secure, while challenging them with enough variety
  to make it interesting! Important Piano techniques presented in this piece
  are: shaping the melodic phrase, dynamics, artistic expression and left hand
  arpeggios. The melody is presented in the Right hand without elaboration. The
  left hand moves positions, but the musical patterns remains similar.
  Beginning in measure 25, the left hand arpeggios begin- reinforcing the
  studentis knowledge of music theory.

Coventry Carol
    
    Piano Solo for Early Intermediate
    
    Arrangement by Susan Staples Bell
    
    
    
    Susan Staples Bell has been a Piano Instructor for over 30 years. In all
  her compositions, she strives to educate as well as delight. This arrangement
  of iCoventry Caroli is simple, yet elegant. 
    
    
    
    Written for Early Intermediate, this arrangement gives plenty of repetition
  to help the student feel secure, while challenging them with enough variety
  to make it interesting! Written in the key of G minor, but it also hints at G
  Dorian mode, which gives it that Medieval/ New Age sound. The melody is
  presented in the Right hand without elaboration, and the Left hand is
  idronei like.  The secret to
  performing this piece is artistic expression. The left hand must be quiet, in
  the background, and the right hand melody must sing!  Play careful attention to the dynamics,
  which will lead you to shape the musical phrases.  Another teaching moment is the meter:  Students will understand i time, but the
  challenge is to feel it in iOnei, which gives it a dancing, lilt-like
  feeling. 
    
    
    
    Perfect choice for recitals! Christmas Piano Solo

Early Morning Prayer
    
    Organ Solo for Early Intermediate.
    
    By Susan Staples Bell
    
    
    
    Inspired by the verse,
    
    Psalm 143:8 ESV Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in
  you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
  
    
    Early Morning Prayer, an Original Composition by Susan Staples Bell, is
  perfect for the new Organist or a transitioning Pianist, as seen in the
  repetitive, minimal Foot Pedal note patterns. The featured right hand melody
  appears on the Great manual, while the left hand accompaniment jazzy chords
  bring a fresh new sound. The B section brings change as both hands are now on
  the Swell.  Optional Da Capo, if the
  player needs a little extra time. Lovely as a Prelude or Offertory.
    
    
    
    Susan Staples Bell has been a Music Educator for over 30 years:  With experience as a Band Director, Jazz
  Band Director,  Choir Director,
  Handbell Director, Church Accompanist, Organist, but principally, she is a
  Piano Instructor. These varied musical experiences bring a fresh approach to
  each of her compositions, as she strives to educate as well as delight!

Of the Fathers Love Begotten
    
    Piano Solo for Early Intermediate
    
    Arrangement by Susan Staples Bell, ASCAP
    
    
    
    The tune, "Divinum mysterium", which is more widely known as Of
  the Fathers Love Begotten is a Medieval Plainsong Chant, appropriate for
  Advent, Christmas or anytime. 
    
    Although the tune is ancient, this arrangement by Susan Staples Bell is
  very contemporary; using syncopations in the melody like you might hear in a
  Praise service; yet its easily accessible for the Traditional Church
  Pianist. Beautifully set, it is contemplative; reminiscent of a Mothers
  lullaby, and descriptive of how our Heavenly Father wants to enfold us in
  love. 
    
    
    
    Of the Fathers Love Begotten.
