On the evening of November 9, 2009, while rehearsing some Christmas music at the piano, inspiration for composing a holiday piano solo came to me after playing the beautiful Christmas classic Silent Night.
After a few minutes of creating a melody, I quickly wrote down some of the ideas for this song while imagining the anticipation of Christmas with family and friends and the traditional custom of giving gifts.
What would be the most natural gift to give anyone, I thought. After finishing the song, the answer became apparent - the silent gift of a smile and thus the title Silent Gifts.
This Early Intermediate arrangement of Robert's Christmas piano solo Silent Gifts is clearly and carefully notated with dynamic marks, phrasing, suggested fingerings, pedal indications, and appropriate musical terms for playing.
Silent Gifts arranged as an Early Intermediate piano solo is a wonderful Holiday selection for students, ideal for teaching, recitals and enjoyment.
Both Piano/Vocal and Chorus arrangements of Silent Gifts are also available. The Original Early Advanced edition is also available.
