FOREWORD

Every year more than 400 million people celebrate Christmas around the world. The greattradition of singing and playing Christmas hymns and carols is celebrated in almost every country, no matter which language is spoken in the home. It is a common musical bond, and one that creates our most cherished memories.

Within this edition you will find original arrangements of the best-loved Christmas songs, spanning four centuries of musical development. From the traditional Olde English lyrics of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen which dates back to the 15th century, to the ever-beloved Jingle Bells of the 19th century...everyone’s traditional favorites are contained in this special volume for accordion.

Enjoy performing and sharing these impressive-sounding new arrangements with your family and friends, and create your own Christmas traditions with the accordion.

Leesa Dahl

SUGGESTIONS INTERPRETING THE MUSIC

• Most of the titles offer a single note version. This is to enable the less advanced player equal enjoyment. The single note versions will also sound orchestral due to the accordion’s orchestral capabilities brought out by the arranging.

• Advanced players might want to use the single note version as an introduction before performing the advanced version.

• For best results use the switch suggestions. Observe 8va and loco carefully. Use

the musette tuned violin switch for the ultimate beautiful sound to contrast with bassoon or bandoneon as suggested on the music. Only use those 3 switches. Only use the bass keyboard’s bass piano switch. Do not use the bass keyboard’s master switch because it is too loud and brassy; that will cover up the treble.

• Only change bellows direction when starting a new melody note and not during or in the middle of any sustaining melody.

• Use as many dynamic variations and rubatos as possible. Observe

• Legato (smoothly connected). Play the accordion as if you are an orchestra. Be detail oriented to notice the extensive use of ties throughout each arrangement and the two and three part writing.

• Critical and necessary fingering is included to assist you during the learning process for eventual trouble free performances.

• Read about each carol in Wikipedia.

FOREWORD

Gary's professional music career, lasting over six decades,

resulted in an impressive body of work including hundreds

of individual arrangements and ten eBook collections.

These popular arrangements are harmonically and

melodically correct, show the power and beauty of the

accordion, and will challenge the beginning, intermediate,

and advanced accordion players. Each of Gary's

arrangements came from his heart and offers a true

musical experience that should be encountered by anyone

who loves and enjoys playing the accordion!

Numerous requests from his students and members of the accordion community -- always

searching for high level professionally arranged piano accordion songs -- inspired Gary to

develop this library with a few simple goals:

• All arrangements are creative and harmonically correct.

• All arrangements contain a sensible degree of difficulty.

• All arrangements are enjoyable for you to play and therefore enjoyable to your

audience.

• Each song book is in a convenient and accessible PDF format.

Each song book is organized to provide a collection of arrangements that are similar by

theme, genre or type. This makes getting your favorite solos easy. Together these eBooks

represent a huge repertoire for the modern accordion player and are guaranteed to satisfy

even the most demanding audience.

DENNIS O’TOOLE

The artistic and easily read engravings throughout this book were provided by Dennis

O’Toole, a professional music engraver specializing in the accordion.
