Christmas duets and trios for two or more soprano recorders. Music includes familiar carols and lesser-known or earlier music. Part One features 34 Christmas pieces using only the 9 easiest notes as learned in The New Nine-Note Recorder Method: Easy Music for Beginners. Part Two contains 32 more songs that use the 12 additional notes presented in Beyond the Nine-Note Recorder Method: More Easy Music for Beginners. Music may be played on combinations of soprano and tenor recorders. Alto recorder may be used although some songs will need to be played up an octave. Other instruments such as mandolin, violin, flute, and psaltery may play these duets. Combine a string instrument and a recorder for a striking duet. Titles include: Away in a Manger; O Come, O Come, Emmanuel; My Dancing Day; Joys of Mary; Ding, Dong, Merrily on High (trio); Jingle Bells; All My Heart This Night Rejoices; Up on the House-Top; Nowell Sing We; Angels We Have Heard on High; Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming; Make We Joy; Jolly Old St. Nicholas (trio); Patapan (trio); Veinticinco de diciembre; Psallite, unigenito; Coventry Carol (trio); Mariam Matrem Virginem; and many others. Most titles feature fresh new harmonies and arrangements. Others stay very close to the original arrangements, including Silent Night which has traditionally strayed from the original music.
