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
