These 35 festive instrumental solos for string players offer a versatile selection of Christmas music for the level 2-3 musician. Popular carols are presented both individually and in medleys and suites to provide both a traditional feel and a special new twist! The woodwind and brass books are compatible and may be played together as well. Due to level considerations regarding keys and instrumental ranges, the string books in the series are not compatible with the woodwind or brass books. The MP3 CD with the book includes a fully orchestrated demonstration track followed by a play-along track of each song. Insert the CD into a computer and you can print out a PDF of the piano accompaniments to give to your accompanist, plus you can also use Alfred's Tempo Changer software to adjust the tempo as you wish! Titles include: Believe (from The Polar Express); Jingle Bell Rock; Frosty the Snowman; Do They Know It's Christmas (Feed the World); You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch; Grown-Up Christmas List; Santa Claus is Comin' to Town; Mary Did You Know? and many more!
