Also known as "Good People All, This Christmas Time" and Carul Loch Garman, this traditional Irish Christmas carol has a hauntingly beautiful melody dating back to the 12th century. A Celtic-flavored celebration of the Nativity, this arrangement for two violins, viola and cello is recommended for Christmas plays, pageants and programs as well as traditional Christmas church services and other seasonal worship events, as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, interlude, Christmas play overture, silent prayer accompaniment and special music. Also makes an elegant, moving selection for Christmas concerts and recitals. 16 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for each stringed instrument). Concert Key: G major.

Carson Turner&rsquo.s latest instalment to The Schott String Quartet Series is a wonderful collection of traditional Irish folk tunes. These intermediate-level arrangements make perfect performance material.

The Schott String Quartet Series
With the first books in the series focusing on baroque, classical and romantic styles, The Schott String Quartet Series has expanded to cover music ranging from traditional pieces through to Eastern-influenced works. Aside from 'Indian Summer', which features original compositions, each book contains original arrangements of well known themes, which have often never been arranged for string quartet before. .
An important characteristic of these arrangements is that they allow all four instruments to demand the attention throughout the music. The pieces are suitable for amateur musicians or school students and are ideal for public performance.
