On the Lighter Side (10 Christmas Carols for Piano Duet)

ed. John Kember

Another title in this popular series with dual versions of 10 well-known Christmas carols to give wider access to pupils of all ages. The initial versions are generally straightforward while the second presents a more up-dated and sometimes up-tempo version to give variety and a fresh approach to some familiar tunes. Intended for teacher and pupil, in many of these carols the pupil's left hand part is optional, widening the scope of these arrangements to suit relative beginners, or even to include use with other instruments. Includes: We Wish You a Merry Christmas • Silent Night • The Holly and the Ivy • We Three Kings • Away in a Manger • God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen • Il est né • Good King Wenceslas • Rocking • Here We Come A-Wassailing.
