An intermediate-level piano solo arrangement of “Birthday of a King,” the Christmas carol written by William Harold Neidlinger in the late 19th century. Not one of the best-known carols, but one I’ve loved playing often since first hearing it in a choir performance as a teenager. This arrangement follows the carol’s narrative melody closely through the verses, then builds into a majestic, powerful chord sequence in the interlude before a key change lifts the final chorus to its close. A rewarding choice for Christmas concerts, church services, or recital programs looking for a lesser-known carol with real emotional build.
