Written with the season of hope, love, joy, and peace in mind, this volume of Mark Hayes Miniatures features familiar carols and five original compositions that correspond with events in the Christmas story. As with the other volumes in this series, each arrangement is around two minutes or less, so you can add more seasonal music to your Advent and Christmas celebrations. They can even be performed without hours of practice, providing music you can play at the last minute.

Brought together in the early part of the 19th century, some of the pieces in this collection are transcriptions of instrumental works. However, these masterfully constructed miniatures are well suited to keyboard performance and are characteristic of Haydn's humor, tenderness, charm and passion. The selections provide intermediate pianists with a wealth of musical ideas and harmonic invention, and are similar in difficulty to Haydn's Sonatinas.

Level 2 "I love Mark Hayes piano arrangements, but they are just too difficult for me to play in public." If you have thought or even uttered that sentiment, Mark Hayes has a wonderful gift for you! The artistry, the emotion, the stylistic variety and musical interest--all are present in this, the first volume of an exciting new series that's been created with the intermediate skills of an emerging pianist firmly in mind. The listeners will both enjoy and be inspired by the unmistakable Mark Hayes touch, and only you will know or appreciate these carefully crafted easier arrangements for their modest technical demands. Now you can say, "I can't wait for the next volume of Mark Hayes hymn arrangements to share with my congregation," and have confidence that indeed, you will be able to do just that! (Durations are included for all selections.)

Follows the story of an Irish man who chases his dream from Ireland to Los Angeles.

This celebrated collection of sketches sparkles with Stephen Leacock’s humour and shines with the warmth of his wit. The comical E.P., star of the title essay, “My Remarkable Uncle,” is a classic Leacock character. He is president of a railway with a letterhead but no rails, and he heads a bank that boasts credit but no cash whatsoever – all of which trouble E.P. not in the least. My Remarkable Uncle, a wonderful smorgasbord of mirth served up by a master of comedy, includes several essays, a short story, a political parable, and personal reflections on a dizzying array of subjects. Here, in rich abundance, are the inspired nonsense and the unerring eye for human folly that have made Stephen Leacock Canada’s most celebrated humorist.

Following up on his tremendously popular collection of "miniatures," Mark Hayes crafted a second volume of short, practical solos for today's church pianist. Along with captivating hymn arrangements written in his renowned style, Mark provides five original pieces, giving you a variety of selections perfect for use as preludes, postludes, offertories, or underscores.
