Christmas Melodies For Violin Series, Bound Physical Books

Christmas Melodies For Violin Series, Bound Physical Books

I am pleased to offer three distinct types of Christmas Melodies books for the violin:

(1) DUETS CUBEDDuets to the 3rd Power has three levels of difficulty for the second violinist: easy, medium and hard. The second book, containing identical notes and called the Tradeoff version for short, is for more advanced players and trades off the melody and harmony parts.

.
(2) DOUBLE STOP SOLOS and DUETS — There are two levels of difficulty for this Series. In each volume, a student plays a duet first with their teacher and then goes immediately to the double stop solo containing identical notes from the duet. Volume I is for students who have never played double stops while Volume II is quite advanced.

.
(3) FOUR VIOLINS — There are two verses for each Christmas Carol, a contemporary sounding harmony followed by a classical harmony, which provides a nice contrast and sufficient length for various Christmas music programs. The level of difficulty is intermediate.

Christmas Melodies: Double Stop Solos and Duets For Violin, Volume I (with CD), BPBs

Christmas Melodies: Double Stop Solos and Duets For Violin, Volume I (with CD), Bound Physical Books
Christmas Melodies: Double Stop Solos and Duets For Violin, Volume I (with CD), Bound Physical Books, is an excellent way to introduce violin students to the magical world of double stops! (Please read the Foreword by William Starr by clicking the Forewords Button located here or at the top of the navigation bar on the Home Page.)

The student plays a duet with their teacher, a Christmas Carol of their choice. After playing the duet, the student goes immediately to the double stop solo, where the same, identical notes written in the duet are rewritten for one player. For a more detailed analysis of my approach to teaching double stop solos, please refer to my recently revised article.


This
Volume is written for students in late book three to early book four of Suzuki or for traditional students studying perhaps Bach Bourrees, Gavottes or Seitz Telemann concerti. In other words, it is geared for students with very little or no experience playing double stops. There are lots of octaves with open strings, thirds without 4th fingers and both major and minor sixths. As such, it is an ideal starting place to begin the journey into the wonderful world of double stops!

Christmas Melodies Arrangements

CM: Christmas Melodies Series
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!
