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
The scores and all the parts are contained in a single 54-page PDF file. This collection includes the following favorite carols: Angels We Have Heard on High (Gloria); Lo, How a Rose E?er blooming (Es ist ein Ros entsprungen); O Come, O Come Emmanuel (Veni Emmanuel); The First Noel; Ding Dong! Merrily on High (Bransle de l?Officiel); O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fidelis); Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (Mendelssohn); Go Tell It on the Mountain; O Little Town of Bethlehem (St. Louis); O Holy Night (Cantique de No�l); Silent Night (Stille Nacht); Away in a Manger (Mueller); Joy to the World (Antioch); O Christmas Tree (Tannenbaum); We Three Kings (Kings of Orient); I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (Waltham); What Child is This? (Greensleeves); God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen; Good King Wenceslas (Tempus Adest Floridum) and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
