Another Six Duets on Traditional Christmas Carols for advanced-intermediate and advanced trumpet players by the same arranger who brought you 12 Christmas Duets and Five More Christmas Duets. More than a simple harmonized rendering of the melody, these arrangements are suitable for a variety of performance venues from informal Christmas gatherings to church services, and are also a joy to use for sight-reading in December private lessons. Included are: Carol of the Bells, Ding Dong! Merrily on High, Go Tell It on the Mountain, We Three Kings, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, and In Dulci Jubilo (Good Christian Men Rejoice). Most are set in their traditional styles, while Go Tell It on the Mountain is set in an authentic jazz style. These are similar in style and complexity to the earlier Christmas duets by this same arranger. Note: These arrangements for trumpets are NOT compatible with this arranger\'s editions for other instruments. This collection and this arranger\'s earlier collection, Five More Christmas Duets, may be purchased together in the collection titled Christmas Duets, Volume 2, for Trumpets.

The arrangements are scored for three independent parts, though you can use as many trumpets as you wish or even trumpet duets. While the more folk-like carols are arranged in a free style, the more traditional hymn-like carols use the traditional harmonies and voicing. This collection is completely compatible with the arrangements for wind instruments with the same title. The arrangements could be used as stand-alone pieces or as an accompaniment to congregational singing. For this reason, dynamics have been omitted and articulations have been kept to a minimum
