My Christmas Melodies Series is the oldest series of arrangements, going back to 2002, with the publication of Christmas Melodies: Double Stop Solos and Duets For Violin, Volume I (without the CD). While this edition is now out of print, don’t fret! You can still purchase the expanded 2007 publication which contains four additional Christmas Carols and also a CD; please see Christmas Melodies: Double Stop Solos and Duets For Violin, Volume I (with CD), Bound Physical Books.
Since then, this Christmas Melodies Series has expanded tremendously along several dimensions.
I am pleased to showcase my first Christmas Double Stop Solos and Duets Volume For Cello this year! Violists are also included in this Christmas Double Stop Solos and Duets Series with the following two offerings: Volume I and Volume II.
My writing continues to expand and evolve with TWO brand new HOT OFF THE PRESS(!) Series’ for your Christmas enjoyment!!
1. Christmas Melodies For Violin: Duets3…3 Verses of FUN! and Christmas Melodies For Violin: Duets3…3 Verses of Fun!, Melody Harmony Advanced Tradeoffs; and
2. Christmas Melodies For Four Violins, Volume I; Christmas Melodies For Four Violins, Volume II; and Christmas Melodies For Four Violins, Volumes I and II.
All the arrangements found in this latter Christmas Melodies For Four Violins Series have both Contemporary and Classical elements.
Additionally, a beautiful Christmas CD of string orchestra arrangements is now available; please see Christmas Strings: Contemporary and Classical Arrangements, from the Arranger for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
Finally, my full orchestral arrangement, Christmas Melodies for Orchestra, made its public debut with the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra in December, 2009. This arrangement will be for sale on the website in the near future.
It is my hope and wish that you can share the musical joy in these arrangements with others for years to come!
