Primary Genre: Trombone Ensembles - 2 trombones
Secondary Genre: Elementary Material - ensemble

These are easy arrangements of thirty familiar Christmas carols. With one exception, each one goes through the carol just once. The rhythms and overall tessitura of both parts are well suited to beginner players. Range comprises F-f1, but both parts generally remain within the staff. Parts are also available in a B-flat treble version, opening the possibility of performing with treble-reading trumpet, baritone, or trombone players.
