Alfred Music's Ultimate Christmas Instrumental Solos series offers a versatile selection of
Christmas music for flute clarinet alto sax tenor sax trumpet horn in F trombone violin
viola and cello. Each book contains carefully edited arrangements appropriate to each
instrument and well suited for level 2-3 students. Popular carols are presented both
individually and in medleys and suites. Celebration Medley includes the cheerful classics
Hallelujah Chorus and Joy to the World. Manger Medley incorporates unique arrangements of Away
in a Manger and Silent Night. And Carol Medley features songs great for caroling such as Hark!
The Herald Angels Sing and The First Noel. Suites include Themes from The Nutcracker Suite
which showcases the famous Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy and March and Folk Carol Suite which
contains the well-known Coventry Carol (Lullay Thou Little Tiny Child). These suites are
especially adaptable with movements or themes that can be played consecutively as one large
piece or on their own---each section is conveniently printed on a single page and has its own
separate track on the provided MP3 CD. The CD includes a fully orchestrated DEMO track of each
song which features a live instrumental solo performance followed by a PLAY-ALONG track. Also
included are PDFs of piano accompaniments and Alfred's Tempo Changer Software. Titles: A Holly
