Conrad Susa’s Carols & Lullabies/Christmas in the Southwest

[rosalind-beck]

Would anyone who has played this care to comment on the level of difficulty/amount of preparation time required?

Hi Rosalind,

Its a great little set of carols, really enjoyable to play and not very difficult. I would find out tempos if possible. Compared to the usual Britten or Rutter, this is a cake walk. =)
(Also, be prepared to play the guitar part too, or add in some important things. I had to do this once when unfortunately the guitarist wasn’t reliable)

Enjoy them!

Lynne Aspnes is the expert on these, not to mention Britten and Argento.

I’ve done about three or four of them.

I haven’t but I think this requires a higher level of effort and preparation time. Christmas lullabies aren’t that easy right?

Thanks for your advice, everyone!

This is one of my new favorites. I LOVE it! The harp part isn’t too stressful, and the arrangements are lovely. Have fun with it.

If it isn’t played a lot lately, it was in the past.

I’ve just come across this piece for the first time; it’s lovely. Just wondering if everyone else plays the harmonics as

I’ve just been onto youtube and I agree – it sounds wonderful. Am tempted to see what I can do over here in the UK next year.
