Christmas is the most favorite fest of many people and I am one of them. The Christmas time is fanned by a romantic fairy tale aura. This is the island of never-ending happiness and boundless joy in the sea of everyday problems, expectation of a holiday and magic, so familiar since the childhood. Once I have noted a paradoxical thing. The sound of Christmas carols arouses in me sensation of warmth and coziness, though the Christmas is the time of snow and cold.
I have found very nice piano piece written on themes of Christmas carols by Max Puttmann. Name of this piece in German is O, selige Weinnacht, which might be translated as Oh, happy Christmas. This is an easy Fantasia on the most beautiful Christmas carols. Most of them are German origin. The author used famous carols as Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming (Es ist ein Ros entsprungen), The Christmas Tree, Most Beautiful Tree (Der Christbaum ist der schönste Baum), Oh Christmas Tree (O Tanennbaum), Silent Night (Stille Nacht Heil'ge Nacht), Sweeter the Bells Never Sound (Süßer die Glocken nie klingen), Oh Thou Joyful Day (O du Fröhliche, o du selige), Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ. If you are looking for the music for Christmas time the Fantasia on Christmas carols O, selige Weinnacht by Max Puttmann might be interesting for you.
