This gentle arrangement of the Christmas classic Silent Night will help young string players in the development of legato playing. All countermelodies must be balanced with the main theme. The eighth notes should be played evenly in a legato style. If the students have good bow control it is recommended that slurs be used for each measure of eighth and quarter notes as in the Violin II/Viola part at the beginning. If students are not advanced enough to play the slurs, have them play as legato as possible without slurring.

And It Came to Pass, Emmanuel: A compelling musical triumph that invites the listener on a journey that ultimately leads to worship of the Christ Child. The text of the Christmas story blends seamlessly with original narrative and exquisite lyric writing from Rose Aspinall, and Jay Rouse's incredible ability to fashion original melodies and arrange Christmas favorites with nuance and passion is on full display. The musical opens with an ethereal underscore that leads effortlessly into a 6/8 interpretation of Adeste Fideles, followed directly by the theme song and anchor ballad for the musical, And It Came to Pass. Also included are a song written specifically for this work that gives voice to Joseph's fears and longings; a traditional gospel setting of the all-time favorite Jesus, What a Wonderful Child; a syncopated, upbeat angel and shepherd announcement song titled Fire in the Sky; and a tender worship moment at the manger called Jesus, Prince of Peace. With a little something for everyone, this creative work is sure to be an important part of your Christmas season.

One of the most beloved of all Christmas carols is presented in an easy, yet beautiful arrangement by Roy Phillippe. Every sections is given a chance to play the melody in the very playable setting. The optional piano part adds interest and colorful lines to this already very special piece.I am of the opinion that a piece of music is not judged by how difficult it is to play, but by how good it sounds. While my arrangement of Silent Night is written for beginning string players, I have tried to keep it interesting for all players. It should be played warmly with expression to create a full sound.The piece begins with an introduction based on the three-note Silent Night motive. The main melody is introduced in m. 5 by the first Violins, and is harmonized by the second Violins and Violas. The Cellos reiterate the motive in mm. 6,8,10 and 11. Beginning at m.12 the motive alternates between the Violin II and the Cellos. The melody is played tutti until the key change at m.29, at which point when the Cellos and Basses take the melody with light accompaniment in the Violins and Violas. The final statement of the melody is played by the first violins beginning in m. 37. The Silent Night motive from the beginning alternates between Violin II and the Cellos to the end.

The classic Christmas carol is given a delightful new treatment from composer Sean O'Loughlin. Everything you need in a holiday concert selection, plus the opportunity to teach a lot of music in the process. In this arrangement, the composer brings a non-traditional, updated feel to a traditional holiday carol. Duration: 2:43.In this arrangement of Christmas is Coming, I employ some nontraditional feels to a normally traditional holiday carol. It is a brief theme and variations that your students will both enjoy and be able to learn some important musical concepts.After a rather straight forward presentation of the melody to start with, the piece then begins the variations at m. 16. A canonic treatment follows at m. 28 that also provides a teaching opportunity for independent playing. The celli and basses add an off beat rhythmic accompaniment too. A pizzicato treatment follows at m. 42 with some additional rhythm and counting challenges to keep the performers on their toes. We move the key up to D major at m. 56 and add the melody of Joy to the World simultaneously. After trading these two melodies back and forthbetween the upper and lower strings, the ensemble comes together at m. 70. The first violin part at m. 77 should be a dramatic dynamic contrast and sound like an echo. Then bring the ensemble back for a rousing end.
