Many have loved the duet arrangements found in the original collection of
12 Christmas Duets for Bass Clef Instruments arranged by Kenneth Baird.
Volume 2 is now available! As in the original collection, this is a
delightful collection of intermediate to advanced-intermediate level duets
based on traditional Christmas carols. They are challenging at times (not for
beginners) without being overwhelming; at times joyful, at times uplifting,
at times serene. There's even a very jazzy version of Go Tell It on the
Mountain! In addition to being a joy for friends to play together, they are a
great resource for teachers to play at lessons with their students, they are
are suitable for informal Christmas performances, and many are appropriate
for church services. Note: the duets in this collection have NOT been
arranged to be fully compatible with Mr. Baird's duet collections for other
instruments. Instead, these have been arranged specifically for bass clef
wind instruments (trombones, euphoniums, and/or bassoons). This collection
does include the duets found in previously released Five More Christmas Duets
for Bass Clef Instruments by Mr. Baird. Included in Christmas Duets, Volume
2, are: Carol of the Bells, Ding Dong! Merrily on High, the First Noel, Go Tell
It on the Mountain, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Jingle Bells, Joy to the
World (a more traditional version than found in the original duet
collection), We Three Kings, Angels We Have Heard on High, God Rest Ye Merry
Gentlemen, and In Dulci Jubilo (Good Christian Men Rejoice). If you are
looking for simple harmonizations of Christmas Carols, this collection is not
for you. If you are looking for something more, you've come to the right
place.
