This is a dual-purpose book by Wendy Bissinger. Standing alone, it includes 11 carols for solo cello in a petite book with large notes. It is also a companion volume to Wendy’s Christmas Carols for 3 and 4 Cellos, also available here. It is the melodic line found in the Cello 1 part of some of the carols in that collection. So if you are comfortable in 1st and 2nd positions, you can play solo or with ensemble. Since the ensemble volume is presented in score form, it can be hard for some players to isolate their part. Big Notes solves that problem!
A suite for solo cello includes 8 short movements: Intrada, Cantabile, Minuetto I and II, Siciliano, Pizzicato, Toccatina, and Finale Giocoso. Movements are of uneven difficulty, some staying in first position while others require fluence through 4th. Another good grow-witih-me selection.
The Henle edition includes one cello part which has slurs, edited by Egon Voss, and a second part bowed and fingered by Reiner Ginzel. Includes Suite 5 with scordatura and concert pitch.
