Includes some of the most famous Christmas Carols and Baroque pieces of the season (Bach, Handel, Corelli). Intermediate-advanced level. Scores and parts included. See table of contents for all pieces included in this book.

NOTE: While some of these works can easily be sightread, there are several that are meant to sound much fuller than your average 2-line transcription so they may be a bit more difficult with added double stops, etc. Much work was put into these to give both players great parts (not just a bass line in the cello part, etc).

Excerpts from the book can be heard on the video.
