12 Christmas Trios: For Beginning and Middle Level Instrumentalists

By Paul G Young Ph D and Paul G. Young

Scroll below for a video example of score of one or more of the trios as prepared in Finale. If you work with beginning and/or middle level instrumentalists, this collection of sacred and secular Christmas carols is for you. Similar to 10 Christmas Duets (Volume I), each of the twelve carols are arranged with the young player in mind. Each carol includes trio parts for each of the five instrument groupings: C Instruments in Treble Clef (flute, oboe, violin, keyboard, etc.)Bb Instruments in Treble Clef (Bb clarinet and trumpet, tenor sax)Eb Instruments in Treble Clef (alto sax, baritone sax, alto clarinet, etc.)F Instruments in Treble Clef (F horn)C Instruments in Bass Clef (trombone, baritone, tuba, bassoon, cello, etc.)The trio parts are transposed in concert key. One C Flute could play with one Bb Clarinet and one Eb Alto Sax, or small numbers of players could be assigned to parts I, II, or III. These trios work well with beginning and middle level bands, especially those groups with imbalanced or incomplete like-instrumentation. Many of the trios could be prepared by students independently empowering them to showcase their skills during programs, or they also will provide engaging reading under the tutelage of a private teacher in a studio setting.
