It is today announced that acclaimed husband and wife composing and producing team James Morgan and Juliette Pochin will release their debut album as duo Piano Hands. Christmas Piano is a reimagined Christmas album featuring brand new interpretations of well-known popular and classical pieces. There will be two singles Fairy Tale Of New York and Jingle Bells released digitally on November 22 2019 with the full album being released on 29 November 2019. Christmas Piano is an album which creates a sound world of relaxing and atmospheric calm, perfect for meditation and mindfulness playlists.
Having been diagnosed with Young Early Onset Parkinsons at the age of 42, James uses the piano as therapy to prolong the function of his hands. Together they have learned to play as Piano Hands which is a response to the increasing difficulties he experiences managing his condition. Between the beautiful pairing they have written and arranged music to play as a duet, easily controlling how many notes James has to play with his left hand and where Juliette can step in and cover James should his Parkinsons intervene. James and Juliette said "We are so thrilled to finally release our debut album together. Having worked together so long along with adapting our playing to work with James' Parkinsons, we hope this meditative and calming album will inspire others. Looking ahead to Christmas we can't wait for the album to provide a calming escape from all the madness that comes with the festive season".Once in Royal David's City
