Product Description
Weihnachtliche Melodien: German Christmas Songs
Compiled and harmonised by Juan María Solare
All these melodies are written as they sound (i.e. "in C") but also come with a second version for Alto Saxophone (in E flat).
The keys were chosen so that the Gemeinde can sing them without huge problems (middle voice, highest note: C).
A possible structure is:
- As INTRO: the piano (or any other accompaniment instrument) plays the last 2 or 4 bars of the melody
- The soloist (flute, violin, alto saxophone) plays the main melody as many times as wished (as is or also one octave higher for variety)
- The piano plays the melody once
- The soloist plays the main melody for the last time.
