The festive season is ideal for creating music, especially in ensembles. This edition, featuring very easy arrangements for two violins, viola, and cello, is perfect for beginner string players to engage in the spirit of Christmas. The 27 pieces are based on works by Baroque composers such as Lully or Händel, or on traditional Christmas carols, mainly German. One of the pieces requires an additional violin, and another requires a viola. With their uncomplicated structure and accompaniment parts closely linked to the melody, these pieces encourage group music-making from a young age.
