America's Favorite Christmas Carols arranged for Strings
Various Composers /arr. Colin Kirkpatrick - Colin KirkpatrickAmerica's Favorite Christmas Carols arranged for Strings
Publisher Desc.
These arrangements of favorite Christmas carols are sure to brighten up
your next Christmas event. They include full four-part instrumental scores
plus parts for 1st violin, 2nd violin, viola and cello/double bass. Most of
the carols can be played in first position, but for a brighter sound, ask
your more experienced violinists to play an octave higher. The double bass is
optional because it uses the cello part. The arrangements can be used with
string quartet, string quintet or string ensemble. There is also an optional
but useful simplified keyboard part intended for less experienced keyboard
players. It could be used as the basis of an accompaniment which means that
you can use the arrangements as solos, duets or trios.
Please note that because the arrangements are in string-friendly keys, they
are not compatible with the brass and wind collections of the same name. This collection includes the following
favorite carols: Angels We Have Heard On High (Gloria); Lo, How a Rose E'er
Blooming (Es ist ein Ros entsprungen); O Come, O Come Emmanuel (Veni
Emmanuel); The First Noel; Ding Dong! Merrily on High (Bransle de
l'Officiel); O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fidelis); Hark! The Herald Angels
Sing (Mendelssohn); Go Tell It on the Mountain; O Little Town of Bethlehem
(St. Louis); O Holy Night (Cantique de Noel); Silent Night (Stille Nacht);
Away in a Manger (Mueller); Joy to the World (Antioch); O Christmas Tree
(Tannenbaum); We Three Kings (Kings of Orient); I Heard the Bells on
Christmas Day (Waltham); What Child is This? (Greensleeves); God Rest You
Merry, Gentlemen; Good King Wenceslas (Tempus Adest Floridum) and We Wish You
a Merry Christmas.
