About this piece: ​I was commissioned by North Star Records to write this arrangement of Mendelssohn's classic carol for pianist Judith Lynn Stillman's CD "Christmas Reflections".  Judith is an accomplished pianist and professor of music who collaborates with many musicians, among them Wynton Marsalis, Mark O'Connor and Richard Stoltzman. If you compare the recording to the score you'll discover places where Judith elaborated on the written part. 

If you perform or record my music please give it proper credit and inform me of the performance or recording. Any video and/or audio links as well as copies of concert programs will also be much appreciated!
Enjoy!
