Arranged by Wendy Bissinger, this single volume includes arrangements for both 3 and 4 cellos. See the breakdown below. Each booklet is presented with all parts in score form, which allows for easily switching to other parts if you are repeating carols. *See note about Big Note Carols (at bottom)

BIG NOTE CAROLS is a companion book with each cello’s part in a separate booklet, with larger font, for beginners. 11 of the 16 total carols are included in this volume, so both books can be used at the same time to accommodate groups of mixed abilities. It has its own listing – this is just an alert that it exists.
