Samantha Bramley #3877349. Published by Samantha Bramley (A0.800203).The Holiday Season can be really painful for lower string players in any ensemble. Playing ‘cello in a Carol concert makes me want to cry. That is why I have created arrangements of classic Christmas Carols and Songs guaranteed not to bore the pants off your violist or ‘cellist. No more bashing out bass notes for the ‘cello, and no more chugging away on the off-beat for viola while the fiddles get soaring melody after soaring counter-melody. We deserve more than this, right guys? You got it!
The 9 minutes of Christmas
Possibly the only string trio Carol Medley you will ever need!
A jolly romp through some of the most popular English language carols, The 9 minutes of Christmas is a medley for string trio (vln/vla/vc) lasting exactly 9 minutes (!) at given tempo. With optional 2nd violin for viola part.
Written with interest in all three parts, and taking turns with melody and accompaniment, this is a very enjoyable arrangement for ensembles of intermediate ability. If you have a great viola player or bored ‘cellist s/he will love this! Contains some double stopping of open and stopped strings. Bowing and dynamics are left to the discretion of the ensemble.

Note from the arranger: All my arrangements for strings are conceived specifically with the aim of writing interesting parts for all players. Most parts do not go beyond 4th position (with the exception of a few harmonics in the lower string parts), making them suitable for student and mixed ability groups. A complete score and set of individual parts (violin, violin 2, viola, ‘cello) is included. Enjoy and feel free to email comments or requests for other works to stringspirational@gmail.com
