Christmas Ensemble Classics Volumes 1-3 from Musical Contexts are a flexible classroom ensemble performing series featuring accessible and playable arrangements of five well-known Christmas songs in each volume containing a Melody, Chords and Bass Line format, ideal for both Secondary/KS3 and Primary/KS2 music classrooms.
Each of the five flexible arrangements comes with 10 Performing Sheets and Scores:
Melody part with lyrics and chord letters (with and without note names)
Chords part with chord letters, chord names (e.g. Chord I, Chord IV etc.) and colour-coded Primary Chords (with and without note names)
Bass Line part (with and without note names)
Full Score (with and without note names)
B flat and E flat Melody parts for transposing instruments
The arrangements are designed to be flexible enough to perform on a range of classroom instruments, for example the Melody part can be played on keyboards, pitched chromatic percussion instruments – glockenspiels, xylophones, metallophones, chime bars etc. – as well as pupil’s own instruments and, of course, sung! Chords can be played on guitars, ukuleles or keyboards and Bass Line parts on bass guitars, keyboards or pitched percussion.
