Christmas brings out nearly everyone in the music world. Renditions here and there, all styles and all kinds of remakes of classic songs.
What comes as a respite for me is the simplicity and beauty of music played in the excellence of a grand piano. Ed Kerr is the veteran musician, songwriter and composer that has been gracing the Christian and worship music world for over 20 years.
Recently, I have been listening to eight classic Christmas songs and enjoying the sounds of the piano as crafted by Ed Kerr. His new release, "Christmas In Ivory", takes the iconic songs of the season and places them to inventive but classicly framed arrangements.
Are you looking for a fresh new album of Christmas music that you can put on and enjoy for hours? "Christmas in Ivory" is my recommendation for you. But don't take my word for it- check out the free song below, which is one track from Ed's album.

For musicians or churches interested in incorporating some of these great song arrangements in their own contexts, there is also a full digital songbook available at the same page.

This is a beutiful CD--you can hear faint influences of George Winston, David Lantz and David Nevue all wrapped up into this unusual collection of peacefully arranged piano instrumentals. It's already giving rest to my soul as the crazy holiday season kicks off...thanks for your gift of beautiful quiet music, ed!
I got an email with invitation for free download of this song "The First Noel.:" However, when selecting the "download this song" link, it only plays the song and there is no way to download this mp3.
thanks
Donna,
The links simply link directly to the files. You can indeed save them to your computer. On a PC, simply use [right-mouse] when you click on the link and it will show a mini-menu, from which you select "Save Link As...". On a Mac (on my Mac at least) you simply use CONTROL-COMMAND (both keys) then click the link and it will show a mini-menu, from which you select "Save Link As...".
In both cases, you can then save the file to your computer.
