12 Christmas Duets for Saxophones (or Oboes) by Kenneth Baird is a delightful collection of intermediate to advanced level duets based on traditional Christmas carols. They are challenging at times (not for beginners) without being overwhelming; at times joyful, at times uplifting, at times serene. In addition to being a great resource for teachers to play at lessons with their students, these duets are suitable for informal Christmas performances and many are appropriate for church services. Note: These duets have been specifically arranged for either saxophones or oboes. No attempt has been made by the arranger to make them compatible with his Christmas duet collections for other instruments. Included are: Away in a Manger; Deck the Halls; Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; Joy to the World; O Come All Ye Faithful; O Come, O Come Emmanuel; O Holy Night; O Little Town of Bethlehem; Silent Night; The Wassail Song; We Wish You a Merry Christmas and What Child is This? Also available, Christmas Duets, Vol. 2 for Saxophones or Oboes, arranged by Kenneth Baird.
