CHRISTMAS & HOLIDAY very easy
Christmas Serenade—Traditional/arr. Steven
J. Campbell. This wonderful arrangement for
beginning orchestra combines Silent Night and The
First Noel. Set in D Major, it has been arranged so
that violin, viola, and cello sections use only the D
and A strings, while the bass section uses just the
G and D strings. This fundamental arrangement is
free of slurs and dotted rhythms yet still retains the
spirit and charm of the original carols.

joyous medley that's not too hard and serves as a
great opener or closer.

and ties.
