Christmas carols for violin and viola

projects

2 Dec

Christmas is getting close and no doubt you are in the mood to play some Christmas music or your students are asking for some! Recently I collated and edited 17 Christmas carols for my students to play through this season. The carols, in order, are:

Angels we have heard on high
Joy to the world!
O little town of Bethlehem
We wish you a merry Christmas
It came upon the midnight clear
O come, O come Emmanuel
O come, all ye faithful
Jingle Bells
O Holy Night
Away in a manger
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Silent Night
While shepherds watched
Hark! the herald angels sing
Once in Royal David's City
We three kings
The First Nowell

There is a version for violin and one for viola and can be read without trouble by younger students as well as providing a lot of enjoyment for more advanced players. They are set clearly on each page along with dynamics and bowing where required.
