[Trombone-l] It's never too early to acquire Christmas music!!

[Phil Burton]

John,

The Christmas Carols from Robert Elkjer are excellent.  They are only quartets, but we have doubled up on the parts several off and on over the past few years. They are very challenging, but CAN be played with some practice, and the harmonies are wonderful.  Whoever is playing the first part occasionally needs some good high chops, double high C and D's, but the other 3 parts are all well within the range of any decent player.  

As has been said many times on this list, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE solves many of our limitations.

Phil

 True, but I haven't seen any arrangements for TROMBONE-ONLY octets...

I'd love to get my hands on a couple-three of the arrangements Bill had
on the "Carols from the Bells" CD last year.
