Listed on this page are collections of keyboard music, some of which contain music for use in worship services during Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, others which are devoted exclusively to these seasons. Since there is a dearth of good literature written explicitly for piano in worship services, this list includes collections that are intended for organ, manuals only, but that are suitable for the piano as well.
All arrangements are accessible for most pianists who ordinarily play for services. Excluded are the volumes of pedagogical collections intended for young students and collections whose style and/or technique might be considered more appropriate in the home.
