25 Favorite Christmas Duets for Alto Sax` Woodwind Duet - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.865246

This collection spans four centuries, with an emphasis on European carols. Suitable for 2nd year/early intermediate players, this is the first Christmas book in a series where instruments can be mixed and matched.  Most carols have one verse that can be repeated as needed.  Four carols have two verses, the second of which places the melody in the second part with an obbligato in the first.  All books are written in the same concert key so that any grouping of players can join together in celebrating the season!  Though some carols are in traditional hymnal keys, most vary by a whole step to accommodate the ranges and keys of all instruments in the series.  The flute MP3 provides the same music for an audio sample.  The carols and their concert keys are:
