Publisher Desc.  Coventry Carol Piano Solo for Early Intermediate Arrangement by Susan Staples Bell Susan Staples Bell has been a Piano Instructor for over 30 years. In all her compositions, she strives to educate as well as delight. This arrangement of iCoventry Caroli is simple, yet elegant. Written for Early Intermediate, this arrangement gives plenty of repetition to help the student feel secure, while challenging them with enough variety to make it interesting! Written in the key of G minor, but it also hints at G Dorian mode, which gives it that Medieval/ New Age sound. The melody is presented in the Right hand without elaboration, and the Left hand is idronei like. The secret to performing this piece is artistic expression. The left hand must be quiet, in the background, and the right hand melody must sing! Play careful attention to the dynamics, which will lead you to shape the musical phrases. Another teaching moment is the meter: Students will understand i time, but the challenge is to feel it in iOnei, which gives it a dancing, lilt-like feeling. Perfect choice for recitals!
