Information about this piece…

This beautiful song is an excellent way to work on hand independence without knowing it. Under the simple melody are arpeggiated chords that sound like a harp. You do need a low Bb3, but you can easily tune on of the B3s to a Bb for this piece. This arrangement is a simplified version of the one from my Silver Bells CD.
