Score and parts

Primary Genre: Trombone Ensembles - 3 trombones

A collection of twelve traditional Christmas carols arranged for the young student or amateur trio. These arrangements are well suited to their audience. Ranges are quite reasonable: up to f1 in the trombone 1 part and down to F in the trombone 3 part. Nicely engraved and clear to read; parts are laid out well. Treble clef parts in B-flat transposition are included. Tempo markings are absent, so it is assumed that the players are familiar with the carols. However, most of the carols will not be widely recognized in North America. These may be nice to have on hand for a Christmas gig in the U.S. but will probably be most helpful to musicians in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
