Junge Musiker wollen nicht nur innerhalb ihres Schulwerkes vorwärtskommen, sondern auch früh mit Anderen zusammen spielen, am liebsten schon im Orchester. Willkommene Anlässe dafür sind Vorspiele in der Vorweihnachtszeit, das musikalische Material dazu bietet dieses Heft. Die meist vierstimmigen Sätze für zwei Geigen, Bratsche und Cello sind leicht zugänglich und zugleich abwechslungsreich arrangiert. Bekannte Weihnachtslieder wechseln sich ab mit kleinen Werken barocker Komponisten von Händel, Lully und anderen. Alle Stimmen lassen sich solistisch besetzen, genauso gut aber auch zu mehreren ausführen, sodass der sich der Einsatz in jedem jungen Musikschul-Streicherorchester anbietet.
