The traditional Christmas hymn that highlights several of the most important parts of Christ?s birth; from the rejoicing of heaven and earth (with shepherds and angels), to the fulfilling of prophecies (the coming of the wise men) has been freshly arranged as a duet for Violin and Cello with Piano accompaniment. This version also incorporates other Christmas carols within the piece to help tell the story ("Patapan", "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" and "We Three Kings"). Accessible and appropriate for any church or concert setting. An accompaniment track is also available.

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.

This collection will give a taste of carols that are performed throughout the world. Contents: "Angels We Have Heard On High" (French), "Poor Little Jesus" (African-American Spiritual), "O Christmas Tree" (German), "Wexford Carol" (Irish), "Gesu Bambino with Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle" (Italian), "The First Noel" (British). Scored as a duet for Violin and Cello with Piano accompaniment.
