This festive medley combines three joyful melodies into a cheerful Celtic tapestry. Centering on 'The Sussex Carol,' it also takes the listener on a colorful romp through 'Good Christian Men, Rejoice,' as well as an Irish fiddle tune entitled 'A Merry Christmas.' The work can be performed with strings alone, but the addition of hand drum, guitar, and whistle give a distinctive 'fiddle band' sound without significantly increasing rehearsal preparation.

Based on the traditional folk tune used in the 2015 Disney film, Cinderella, this simple arrangement is divided into 3 violin, 3 viola, 3 cello, and 2 double bass parts. It would be ideal for an ensemble of mixed abilities: every instrument can either play the melody, or one of the harmony or bass line parts. Alternatively, students can take turns picking one of the parts and changing lines during rehearsals---or even through the performance, as the 3 parts appear on the page as either A, B, or C. Written in D Major, it is in Rondo form, and explores the use of pizzicato, accidentals, and minor tonalities between the well-known melodic sections. / Orchestre A Cordes
