The Definitive Christmas Collection 3rd Edition (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Songbook) [Paperback] Review

While no single collection of Christmas music is going to have everything you want in it, at least I have not found one, this is pretty darn fine for several reasons.It has a broad selection of the popular and traditional, with some lesser known numbers of each.The arrangements are interesting, but easy enough to play for someone of moderate ability and sight readable for someone who is skilled.Also, the arrangements are pretty traditional.So many arrangers feel the need of adding more colorful chords and changing rhythms.Many of us merely want good rich traditional arrangements where the harmonies of the original come through and the part writing for the for singing around a piano, and there are guitar chords and the fingering boxes provided as well.

The book is arranged alphabetically, so you can quickly find the piece you are looking for.However, if you don't know the name, it takes awhile because the book is so big.My advice for using this book to play for any occasion is to use post it notes to mark the tunes you intend to play so you can flip to them quickly.

The binding is good and strong, so it will stand up to use.While spiral binding might be preferred by some because it will lay flat, I find that they often break, get bent, or have other problems.

I like this collection a lot and recommend it.
