Bass Clef Christmas: 16 Christmas Carols & Songs for double bass & piano (ed. Heyes)

About the Collection Bass Clef Christmas brings together sixteen magical and wondrous Christmas carols and songs from around the world, arranged for the intermediate bassist. The solo part remains in bass clef, with colourful and engaging accompaniments, and these are ideal as concert repertoire or simply to enjoying playing with friends. Each carol or song is short and concise and the judicious use of repeats, alongside the new dynamics, bowings or articulations, can help to create further variety and contrast. Happy Christmas to Everyone! Table of Contents 1. The Holly and the Ivy can be traced back to the early 19th-century, but the carol known today was collected in 1909 by Cecil Sharp, an English folk song collector, in Chipping Campden (Gloucestershire, UK), and sung to him by Mary Clayton. 2. Silent Night was composed in 1818 by Franz Gruber (1787-1863), to words by Joseph Mohr (1792-1848), and first performed on Christmas Eve at the Nikolauskirche in Oberndorf (Austria). River
