30 Christmas carols in challenging movements: 30 of the best-known Christmas carols from Germany, France, England, America and Switzerland. This Christmas booklet is written for all instrumentalists who play in treble clef. The less advanced will enjoy playing the well-known melodies; the more technically adept will find their challenge in the demanding upper parts and harmonising. In this way, perhaps those instrumentalists for whom the familiar easy duets no longer offer any incentive will find themselves making Christmas music again.

Organ music for German hymns III, Christmas festive season II The Cantantibus organis collection contains pieces in several booklets, one group of which is selected according to the festive cycles and special themes of the church year; other groups with free preludes, interludes and postludes are organised according to musical points of view. The level of difficulty of the selected pieces ranges from ‘easy’ to ‘quite difficult’. No special pedalling skills are required. Numerous pieces are for historical reasons, to be played entirely without pedal. The main emphasis of the selected pieces in this collection is on manual technique. Many of the works are ideal for church music festivals and concerts. The pieces without pedal also sound excellent on the harpsichord. This volume is dedicated to the festive season of Christmas,including an insert with hymn texts.

The collection of "Old English Christmas and Winter Songs" by Ortrud Hommes suitably expands the Christmas repertoire for recorder quartet. Thus, not only well-known songs such as "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" can be found here, but also less popular pieces such as "In the Bleak Midwinter" or "Drive the Cold Winter Away". All songs are arranged chronologically, modulated and newly arranged. In this way, the artful simplicity and emotional depth of the songs is conveyed. Content: - Lullay, Lullay: Als I Lay on Yoolis Night - Conventry Carol - On This Day Earth Shall Ring - We Wish You a Merry Christmas - Drive the Cold Winter Away - Now Winter Comes Slowly - God Rest You Merry,Gentlemen - The Snow it Melts the Soonest - We Three Kings of Orient Are - In The Bleak Midwinter

Traditional Christmas carols revived in piano movements for experienced players With this edition, Johann E. Fink fulfilled the wish of an advanced student who wanted to play Christmas carols again - but not in the easy movements found in so many other editions. The result is appealing accompaniment movements for each of the selected carols, which invite you to sing along, as well as two challenging ‘playing versions’ in which players and listeners can enjoy the lively harmonies. Content: - Alle Jahre wieder - Am Weihnachtsbaum - Ihr Hirten, erwacht - Ihr Kinderlein kommet - Kommert, ihr Hirten - Lasst uns froh und munter sein - Leise rieselt der Schnee - O du fröhliche - O Tannenbaum - Still, still, still - Stille Nacht - Süßer die Glocken nie klingen - Was soll das bedeuten

After children's songs, folkloristic compositions and works from the Baroque and Classical periods were arranged in the first two volumes of this series (N 2344 and N 2369), this third volume contains Advent and Christmas carols. The instrumentation - two identical or different melody instruments (recorders, violins, oboes, flutes etc.), piano, bass (cello or bassoon) and percussion - has not changed compared to the other two volumes; multiple instrumentation of the parts is also possible in this volume. The level of difficulty is roughly the same as in volume 2 and thus forms a transition to volume 4, which deals with works from the Romantic period; the first and second parts are on an equal footing and alternate - together with the piano - in the melodic direction. The bass part has gained in independence compared to volume 1; the bass and percussion can be omitted without detracting from the musical sense, but they do enrich the sound. Content: - Macht hoch die Tür - Morgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann - O du fröhliche - Fröhliche Weihnacht überall - Kommet, ihr Hirten - Leise rieselt der Schnee - Tochter Zion - Angels We Have Heard In High - Joy To The World - Hark, The Herald's Angels Sing - Jingle Bells
