A medley of four Christmas carols of French Origin: Noël nouvelet (Sing We Now of Christmas), Un flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle (Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabelle), Il est né, le divin enfant (He Is Born, the Holy Child), and Minuit, chrétiens (O Holy Night). Arranged as a "fantasy-sonata" the first movement is driving, the second is a sweet lilting waltz, the third is a lighthearted take on the melody that alternates between "jaunty" and "solemn" (briefly employing bitonal harmonization) before launching into a blues variation. The finale is a "slow R&B" reimagining of O Holy Night that can be thought of somewhat as the love ballad reprise at the end of a Disney movie.

The trio lasts 9 minutes, and is suitable as a prelude or postlude for a church service or as part of a holiday recital. The difficulty is advanced, though the writing is simple enough that it should be able to be put together with minimal rehearsal time.

Arrangement that combines a hymn "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" with Bach's Cello Suite No.1 "Prelude"

This trio arrangement (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet with PIANO accompaniment) of the well-known hymn tune NETTLETON is a delightful piece for recitals and worship services. The CELLO and VIOLIN begin the first verse by alternately playing solo. Then the two instruments conclude the first verse by playing 2-part harmony. The second verse builds in intensity with 2-part harmony before returning to a more calming mood for the finale.

All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO are playable in the first position making this arrangement an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. The PIANO accompaniment is written for an intermediate player. The purchase price includes a 6-page combined score (grand staff) with all three parts on each page (VIOLIN, CELLO, and PIANO) plus separate 1-staff scores for the VIOLIN and CELLO (1 page each) and also a PIANO only score (3 pages).

This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection "Praise Him with Stringed Instruments, Book 1 (Collection of 10 Hymns for Violin, Cello, and Piano)."

This is My Father's World x Air on the G String.

Here is an easy instrumental trio arrangement (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet with PIANO accompaniment) of the peaceful hymn \"Like a River Glorious\" by James Mountain. This gently flowing arrangement will inspire calm reflection as the listeners are reminded of the lyrics penned by Frances Havergal: \"Like a river glorious is God\'s perfect peace, over all victorious in its bright increase?..Trusting in the Father, hearts are fully blest, finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest.\"

Both the VIOLIN and the CELLO get to lead with the melody at times making this a fun and equally challenging piece for both instruments while adding variety for the listeners. The verse begins with each instrument playing a phrase independently followed by the VIOLIN on melody and the CELLO on harmony. The first verse concludes with the CELLO on melody and the VIOLIN on harmony. Duration 2:00

The range for each part is as follows: VIOLIN ? C5 to A5; CELLO ? G2 to C4 (middle C). All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO are playable in the first position making this arrangement an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. The PIANO accompaniment is written for an intermediate player.
