Christmas Eve Concerto by Corelli

Originally for two solo violins and solo cello with string orchestra accompaniment, this arrangement works well for two altos and bass/contrabass on the solo parts. The two fast movements are light and in a minor key with charming alternations between dissonance and resolution and with frequent syncopation. The slow movement is breathtaking! You receive a score and individual parts. Available in printed form through snail mail ($4.50) or as a digital download.

The repeated rhythm is produced in a simple, yet effective percussive sound that is easy to produce. Available in printed form through snail mail ($4) or as a digital download.
