Volume 3 in the Pure Cello series has 30 classic Christmas carols that both you and your audience are sure to love. This is over 40 minutes of non-stop Christmas carols, specially arranged for solo cello.

[NOTE: If you purchased any of the "Christmas Carols for All" books for solo cello, those are all included in this volume]

These holiday favorites are a special arrangement for solo cello. This is not just another copy of the same old melody lines. Each carol is expanded with double stops to add a rich harmony for solo performance. Many of the carols are entirely in first position, and fingerings are included for anything that extends beyond that. Each carol is in its original key, so it is easy to combine these with your own choir or piano/organ parts.

1. Angels from the Realms of Glory
2. Angels We Have Heard on High
3. Auld Lang Syne
4. Away in a Manger (Cradle Song)

Sing We Noel Christmas (which is not green, but it horned its way into the arrangement anyhow)
