Traditional Christmas songs arranged for piano and guitar

Ruth Crawford Seeger’s collection gathers folk songs and ballads associated with an older American Christmas tradition. The selections reflect varied expressions of the season, from whimsical songs to more plaintive pieces, and are presented as part of a shared musical heritage. Arrangements for piano and guitar give the collection a practical songbook format for playing and singing at home or in a group. Its emphasis is on traditional seasonal material rather than the later imagery of Santa Claus and decorated fir trees.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in American folk and traditional music
  • Musicians seeking Christmas songs arranged for piano and guitar
  • Readers exploring older seasonal song traditions

Book overview

Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953), distinguished musician, noted music educator and authority on folk music has assembled a collection of songs from the old-time Christmas, before Santa Claus came to America and neatly trimmed fir trees bloomed with tinsel. These are the folk songs, the ballads that sprang from a need to express the Christmas spirit, and they are a part of our heritage. The songs are as varied as the singers who have given them utterance over the years, but whether they dance with whimsy or echo with a haunting plaintive cry, they always express the wonder and joy of Christmas. Arranged for piano and guitar.
