Christmas Duets for Descant (Soprano) and Treble (Alto) Recorders comprises 21 favourite traditional Christmas carols arranged for two players of similar (intermediate) standard. This collection is intended to be enjoyed year after year. Perfect for diving into the Christmas spirit, playing in lessons or with friends, entertaining the family or even busking. A great incentive for holiday practice. All are in easy keys. The melody crosses between parts, which makes it a little trickier to play but is great practice for listening to each other - and fun. Most of the pieces are one or two pages in length and the book shows two parts together, not individual parts. Includes : Jingle Bells, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Good King Wenceslas, While Shepherds Watched, I Saw Three Ships, O Come All Ye Faithful, Once in Royal Davidโs City, Sussex Carol, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Carol of the Drum, Ding Dong Merrily, Silent Night, Deck the Halls, We Three Kings and more. More coming from The Ruby Recorder very soon. Look out for our solo, duets and trios, music arranged for mixed instruments: Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Oboe, Saxophone, Recorder, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, French Horn, Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass, Mini-bassoon, Tenoroon, Guitar etc. We have a spectacular variety of duet books, a gargantuan selection of festive books (including Christmas, Valentineโs and Halloween!), fun practice notebooks especially for your instrument, instrument-specific theory, including theory puzzles for very young players and even downloadable playalong and backing tracks and sheet music on our website.

Super easy book
Lovely, easy tune for beginners.
User
good but the melody is split between parts
can be used with any number of different register recorders the melody is split between parts though which is a shame a you cant really use it with younger children who find the melody easier. unless you rewrite the score as i did. Depends what you need it for I guess

This looks good and pretty simple as long as you can read music (and know the proper fingering for your recorder). It is not for rank beginners, but these are easy arrangements if you have some basic music skills. Lot of good songs for Christmas!

Alto Recorder Christmas Songs
Was disappointed with this purchase as the product description is not as clear as I think it should be.It states music can be used with an alto recorder but this is not the fact as the music notes for an alto recorder are different than that of a treble (soprano) recorder. As an alto recorder player, I am unable to use this book and will be donated elsewhere. Disappointed.

Good collection
This is a nice collection of Christmas music within the range of any intermediate player, and it is always more fun to play a duet than just a solo.

Nicely arranged.
The duets sound really good but need a great bit of skill to play. I would rate the difficulty at least at "intermediate" if not "difficult". I am impressed with the inclusion of the melody in sections of both parts. Maybe I'll be ready for public performance by next Christmas.
