This collection of intermediate level Advent and Christmas pieces for violin(s) and piano includes some well-loved classics as well as pieces that will be new discoveries. While both beautiful and fun to play as duets, these pieces can also be performed as solo works using the Violin I part with the piano accompaniment. Each piece goes beyond a straightforward presentation of the main melody to bring a sense of joy and wonder to both the musicians and the listeners. These arrangements provide excellent opportunities for expression and collaborative playing; the melody often moves from part to part, and original material and fiddle tunes enhance the original melodies. Perfect for use in church settings or in recitals, as solos, or as ensemble repertoire in group classes, this collection will bring joy to your holiday season.

This book presents the most widely played fiddle tunes in easy-to-read arrangements for viola. The viola edition features the same tunes in the same keys as the author’s original The Fiddlin’ Workshop and The Fiddlin' Workshop for Cello, so all three instruments could conceivably jam together. Designed for beginning through intermediate players, the arrangements progress in difficulty with each tune. A few tunes are presented in both easier and more challenging versions. In addition to helpful hints on fingerings and bowing, this collection contains suggested guitar accompaniment chords and a bit of fiddlin’ history and related folklore. Includes access to an excellent online audio recording of the book’s tunes and variations.
