Pianoël Volume 2 — Christopher Peacock

Pure & Simple Music is delighted to introduce this second artist collection of traditional seasonal carols arranged for the piano. As the piano is often the centerpiece for family and community gatherings during the holiday season, from school and church programs to caroling parties at home, we thought "PIANOEL" would be an appropriate way to introduce our family of artists to your family this holiday season. From solo piano to piano with full ensemble accompaniment, from classical to contemporary jazz arrangements, we hope this collection will add a joyous soundtrack to your holiday season. Merry Christmas!
