The Cornet, French Horn & Baritone Horn Christmas Trio Book by Traditional Brass Trio - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1775998

This flexible Christmas collection keeps the classic Guthrie sound but moves everything into more comfortable, low-stress keys for real-world players. It is ideal for busy church brass musicians who want beautiful trios that feel good under the fingers and sit comfortably in the range.

Core description

“The Cornet, French Horn & Baritone Horn Christmas Trio Book” brings together twenty beloved carols and hymns in freshly adjusted, more relaxed keys that make rehearsal and performance noticeably easier. Each title is scored for standard brass trio, with clear, idiomatic lines that keep endurance demands reasonable while still delivering a rich, full ensemble sound suitable for services, concerts, and community events.​

Musical and practical features

Every piece is arranged so each player gets turns with the melody, keeping all three parts interesting and musically rewarding. The more accessible key choices reduce awkward fingerings and extreme tessitura, making the book an excellent fit for mixed-ability church groups, volunteer ensembles, and school or community brass choirs.​

The collection includes:
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Veni, Veni, Emmanuel); Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending (Helmsley); Joy to the World (Antioch); It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Carol); Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming (Es ist ein Ros); Angels We Have Heard on High (Gloria); God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen (God Rest You Merry); What Child Is This? (Greensleeves); In Sweet Rejoicing (In dulci jubilo); Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (Mendelssohn); Let Them Sing Today (Personet hodie); The First Noel; At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing (Salzburg); We Three Kings (Three Kings of Orient); O Come, All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles); O Little Town of Bethlehem (St. Louis); Away in a Manger (Mueller); Silent Night (Stille Nacht); Auld Lang Syne; and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.​

Ideal uses

Directors will find this book perfect for prelude and postlude sets, offertories, carol services, and last-minute substitutions when other players are missing. Because the keys are so player-friendly, these trios also double well for light sight-reading, Christmas caroling, and quick pick‑up ensembles with minimal rehearsal.
