Centre Stage Christmas

Four-part flexible chamber music arrangements featuring a soloist. The Centre Stage series, bringing well-known classics to early-level players, has become so popular with schools and music centres that further titles have been requested!

The rousing Joy to the World and gentle Silent Night are undoubtedly Christmas favourites and would make an excellent choice for your Christmas concert.The scoring is flexible (the ‘soloist’ in Part 1, as an example, could be for flute, oboe, violin, clarinet or alto saxophone) and whilst written for a chamber group, larger ensembles can also use Centre Stage with more players joining each part.

An optional piano part has been included for rehearsal or to support the performance.
