Holiday Strings - Viola

This grade 1-2 collection contains eleven familiar holiday songs from divergent ethnic groups, each arranged in two performance formats: duet and string orchestra. These formats provide directors with versatility and variety in meeting the performance needs of beginning level string orchestras. In the duet arrangements each instrument has the melody line and a harmony (duet) line. In the string orchestra arrangements each instrument has two parts that follow standard instrumentation, allowing for various instrument combinations between upper and lower strings. The optional piano book includes both duet and string orchestra accompaniments that will strengthen the confidence andsound of ensembles of any size.
