Merry Christmas and get your greenery here!
You'll find this a light, whimsical prelude for recital, Winter gathering, or church service. The melody passes back and forth between the four parts, so each of the cellists can shine!

Included in this medley are:

The Holly and the Ivy
Greensleeves
Sing We Noel Christmas (which is not green, but it horned its way into the arrangement anyhow)
Playtime is 3:40
Parts: Part 1 is written in bass, tenor, and treble clefs, Part 2 in bass and tenor clefs, Part 3 in bass and treble, and Part 4 is in bass with a phrase in tenor clef.
Keys: F, D minor
History: This piece was arranged to be played before a church service during the Advent season. It has since been played for parties, receptions, and recitals. You'll find this piece a refreshingly light addition to any playlist. I'd love to hear how you've chosen to use it.

Includes 15 pieces for the beginner cellist.Specially created for students using Suzuki and similar methods. For studentswho play in first position only, and for those beginning to learn shifting.
What makes this book special? It includes:
1. Pieces in the low register of the cello. Beginner booksoften focus on the A and D strings.
2. More lyrical pieces, meaning more song-like, more Romanticthan Baroque style.
3. A teacher accompaniment part (teacher edition only). Thestudents find it enjoyable, and it teaches them how important it is to listenand to play in time, in tune, and with dynamics. Can also be used for recitals.
4. Familiar tunes. What is familiar to one person is unknownto others, but I tried to put in pieces that many people would be familiar with.
5. Shifting with familiar tunes. When I was a student, Ifound it easier to learn a shift if the piece was familiar. My ear knew whereto go. I have included a few pieces with two versions: first position andshifting . The student can learn the first position version and then be able tolearn shifting with a familiar tune.
6. There is plenty of empty space on the pages for teachersto add markings.
7. Created by a cello teacher for cellists. Not adaptedfrom another instrument. Tested by real students.

If you enjoyed Volume 1, you'll love Volume 2. Here are 10 more great pieces arranged for pure solo cello - no piano required! This collection has more than 30 minutes of classical and patriotic songs ideally suited for formal recitals, wedding celebrations, and background music gigs.

These are not just lame copies of the melody line; they are all fully worked out arrangements designed to be as rich as possible and to highlight the cello. As a professional cellist, I originally arranged these pieces for my personal use, and I have performed every one of them in public.

These are fairly challenging pieces; I would compare their difficulty to Bach Cello Suite #2 on the easy side and Bruch Cello Concerto on the harder side. But with some practice you will have some amazing additions to your solo repertoire.

Each of the songs in this collection is also available separately, but buying the full volume saves you over 60%.

Volume 2 contains the following:
1. Bach Toccata in D Minor

2. Brahms Hungarian Dance #5
3. Bizet Carmen Medley
4. Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet Introduction & Love Theme
5. Tchaikovsky Symphony #5, Finale (excerpt)
6. Debussy Clair de Lune
7. Sousa Washington Post March
8. Vieuxtemp Variations on "Yankee Doodle"
9. Meacham American Patrol
10. Smith The Star-Spangled Banner
