I complied a songbook when I was a young child as well complete with a hand drawn cover I look back on that childhood tradition with fond memories. The album is available from, Amazon, iTunes, CD Baby, and Apple Music as well many streaming sites. About this Christmas Songbook This PDF printable Christmas lyrics songbook was originally created for my annual Christmas Eve tradition of singing carols with friends and family. I proofed the sheet music for the companion songbook to The Magic Of Christmas, and highly recommend that to all of the pianists out there.

The title track is much lighter with a bit of sparkle added!

Subtle strings, bells and choir voices enhance the sense of wonder and poignance. Much of “Memories Of Christmas Past” is played in the upper registers of the piano, giving it a feeling of childlike innocence. “Home Is Where The Heart Is” is much more melodic with feelings of nostalgia and fond memories. “Winter Has Come” is very free and relaxed and expresses the chill and crystalline beauty of the first snow of winter. “The Whisper of Winter” is the first of the original pieces, and is a short, gentle prelude that sets the tone of the album. The ten arrangements include “O Holy Night,” “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” a slow and mellow version of “Jingle Bells,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” and “Auld Lang Syne.” The orchestrations and mastering were both done by Doug Hammer of Dreamworld Productions, Some light orchestration was added to a couple of the tracks. All eighteen tracks are on the quiet, thoughtful side that provides a welcome respite from the often frantic pace of the holiday season. One of the biggest differences between the two albums is that The Magic Of Christmas includes eight original pieces, some of which are quite short (under two minutes), and add a beautiful personal touch to the album. The Magic Of Christmas is pianist/composer/arranger Philip Wesley’s second Christmas album.
