All Is Mary and Bright arr. Mary McDonald
“All is Mary and Bright” offers ten fresh arrangements of carols old and new, carols such as “He Is Born,” “The Holly and the Ivy,” and classics like “In Dulci Jubilo” and “The Snow Lay On the Ground.” One setting is a medley of festive favorites that will make a splendid concert prelude or piano feature in performance. Careful attention has been given to provide a variety of quiet and joyful selections. There is something for every pianist in this collection, some more challenging than others but all with a charm and expressive, artful touch. Titles include: “A Christmas Festival,” “Once in Royal David’s City,” “In Dulci Jubilo,” “He Is Born,” “A Christmas Lullaby,” “The Holly and the Ivy,” “The Snow Lay on the Ground,” “Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella,” “In the Bleak Midwinter,” and “Silent Night, Holy Night with Dona Nobis Pacem.”
Wonderful Hymns of Life arr. Mary McDonald
Mary McDonald applied her boundless imagination to create ten hymn arrangements that she calls “one-rehearsal wonders.” They are easy to read and master, yet still have the excitement and innovation that Mary is known for among church pianists. This book is one that will remain on your “short stack” of favorites. Titles include: “Since I Have Been Redeemed,” “I Must Tell Jesus (with Blessed Assurance),” “Wonderful Words of Life,” “A Quiet Moment with Amazing Grace,” “New Born Again,” “Jesus Loves Me,” “Take My Life and Let It Be Consecrated,” “No, Not One,” “Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart,” and “Festive Postlude on Hyfrydol.”
