Easy Christmas Duets for Viola and Cello is a collection of 25 Christmas carols arranged for two early-stage players of around Grade 1-2 standard. All pieces are playable in first position, and all are in easy keys with the more difficult songs towards the end. The melody is shared between the parts so both players get to play the tune. The book includes the melody in treble clef so that the duets may be played with instruments such as piano, recorder, flute, oboe, violin. Chords and lyrics are also included. Great for playing with a guitarist or keyboard player, or for Christmas fun, and singalongs. Also, a brilliant way to keep your fingers twiddling during the holidays. Includes: Away in a Manger - Carol of the Bells - Deck the Halls - God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen - Good King Wenceslas - Go Tell it on the Mountain - He is Born, the Holy Child - In the Bleak Midwinter - In Night’s Silence - Jingle Bells (chorus) - Jolly Old Saint Nicholas - Joy to the World - Mary had a Baby - O Christmas Tree - O Little Town of Bethlehem - Once in Royal David’s City - Patapan - Rocking Carol - Silent Night - Sing we Now of Christmas - The Holly and the Ivy - The Twelve Days of Christmas - Up on the Housetops - We Wish you a Merry Christmas - While Shepherds Watched If you like playing duets, take a look at our other books set a different levels: Easy Traditional Duets; Easy Duets from Around the World; Duets for Improvers and Duets for Mixed Strings, and on our website you will find all our books available as digital downloads and a vast range of music for more advanced players.
