Christmas Carols for Cello Ensemble

This arrangement for cello quartet starts out with the verse, "Dashing Through the Snow" that leads into the famous chorus! (I've included an optional violin part that doubles the cello melody an octave higher. This part can also be played on the cello with lots of natural harmonics with thumb on the 3rd partial.)

A lively cello duet that works well as an ensemble piece. Cello 1 is melody, cello 2 is the bass line harmony. There are 3 verses, each in a different key. Suzuki bk. 3-5 students. 

 This is a beautiful arrangement for mixed ability groups. Cello 5 is the  melody, all in first position on the A and D strings. Cello 1 is the violin melody an octave higher so can be played by advanced students in thumb position, although this arrangement works without this part. Cello 2, 3 and 4 can be played by Suzuki bk 2-5 students.

You can add a violinist or two (or a flutist) to the violin melody/cello 1 part. It sounds really nice especially if the violins or flute can play the repeats an octave higher than printed.
