by Mariah Carey
First published 2007
This songbook presents musical arrangements for piano, voice, and guitar covering four decades of Mariah Carey's recording career. The collection includes her holiday standard "All I Want for Christmas Is You" alongside career-defining tracks like "Vision of Love," "Fantasy," and "We Belong Together." Musicians will find notation for emotional ballads such as "Hero" and "Through the Rain" as well as upbeat numbers like "Heartbreaker" and "Honey." The arrangements capture both her early work from the 1990s and later hits that dominated radio through the 2000s.
