Product Description
Many have loved the duet arrangements found in
the original collection of 12 Christmas Duets arranged by Kenneth Baird. Volume 2 for
clarinets is now available! As in the original collection, this is a
delightful collection of intermediate to advanced-intermediate level duets
based on traditional Christmas carols. They are challenging at times (not for beginners) without
being overwhelming; at times joyful, at times uplifting, at times serene.
There's even a very jazzy version of Go Tell It on the Mountain! In addition to
being a joy for friends to play together, these can be a great resource for
teachers to play at lessons with their students, they are suitable for informal
Christmas performances, and many are appropriate for church services. Note: the duets in
this collection have NOT been arranged to be fully
compatible with Mr. Baird's duet collections for other instruments. Instead,
these have been arranged specifically for clarinets. This collection does
include the duets from Mr. Bairds previously released Five More Christmas
Duets for Clarinets. Included in Christmas Duets, Volume 2, are: Carol of the Bells,
Ding Dong! Merrily on High, the First Noel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, It Came
Upon a Midnight Clear, Jingle Bells, Joy to the World (a more traditional
version than found in the original duet collection), We Three Kings, Angels We
Have Heard on High, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and In Dulci Jubilo (Good
Christian Men Rejoice). If you are looking for simple harmonizations
of Christmas Carol melodies playable by beginners, this collection is not for
you. If you are looking for something more, you've come to the right place. For those of you who already have Five More Christmas Duets, the six new duets in this collection have also been published separately as Another Six Christmas Duets. For advanced-intermediate and advanced clarinet players.
