Music Within Reach: Easy Christmas Pieces Submitted by Composers

September 22, 2017 by Brandon Moss 3 Comments

If you have not already done so, I imagine that many of you are in the middle of selecting music for the holiday season.  For me, this is always one of the trickiest programs to choose.  There are so many favorites that I want to include, but the canon of Christmas choral music is largely […]
