Angels we have heard on high
Away in a manger Bring a torch, jeanette isabella Coventry carol Deck the halls with boughs of holly First Noel God rest you merry, gentlemen Good king wenceslas Good christian men, rejoice Hark the herald angels sing Holly and the ivy I saw three ships come sailing in |
It came upon a midnight clear
Joy to the world Lo how a rose e’er blooming O come all ye faithful O little town of bethlehem O come, o come, emmanuel Silent night Sussex carol Wassail song We wish you a merry christmas We three kings of orient are What Child is this While shepherds watched their herds at night |

These Christmas Carol Favorites are in easily played keys, all in treble clef, in hymnal style, and perfect for sing-alongs. Due to the range, the first part requires a good player(s) and the 4th part requires a strong low register, although I have notated it in treble clef. The middle parts are easily played by a high school students or amateur horn players, making these carols perfect for a quick impromptu performance.
These are also available for brass ensemble as Cherry Classics 2764.
