Joe Bongiorno: A Candlelight Christmas 2

Listen to solo piano Christmas music by Joe Bongiorno on his new album A Candlelight Christmas 2. I also included the first A Candlelight Christmas album from 2010, and created a custom playlist so you play them both together as background music during your Christmas holiday, as well as another playlist of his other music.

You can purchase full album sheet music song books in either spriral-bound printed or PDF download (which is also included with the printed versions). I have included those links below so you can learn to play them all yourself, or just download specific individual songs if you don’t want the full album.

Read the reviews by Kathy Parsons at mainly.piano.com of both the albums and their printed songbooks.

This is fantastic (like all of Joe’s music), and will certainly get you in the holiday mood. Here are a few quotes that describe this new album.

more holiday solo piano in Joe’s peaceful, flowing, signature style including 3 tracks by his wife/pianist Amy Janelle”.

joebongiorno.com (web site)

A little more Christmas music to unwind to…” so that gives you an idea of the spirit and style of the music. Most of the pieces have flowing broken chords on the left hand rather than the more blocked chords found in hymnals and many “sing-along” books. Intended to be played as piano solos, not accompaniments, some liberty has been taken with the traditional timing of a few pieces, but all of them are very easily recognizable and the arrangements are expressive and very beautiful.

A Candlight Christmas 2 CD (on the back)

You will love these even if you don’t celebrate Christmas. Enjoy this gift.
