Christmas Round the World brings together carols from five countries, in
settings which explore the vivid national characteristics of each
country through the ages. Ideal for both string orchestra and quartet
use, the arrangements exploit all the techniques and colors of the
school or amateur ensemble. There is plenty of melodic interest for the
inner parts and cello, while jazz, Latin-American and medieval music
provide the inspiration for the upbeat accompaniments.
The beginners' line (suitable for Violin, Viola and Cello) allows
everyone to join in the fun of festive music making at Christmas!
