Christmas Music for Violin by Allan Alexander contains 21 pieces for solo violin. This great collection includes tunes from the 10th to 18th centuries. The music was chosen from more than eight hundred years of Christmas music. Most of the pieces have been extended with variations, which makes the tunes a more suitable length for performances and are a joy for a violinist to play. With Allan's extensive knowledge of music, you are assured to have a great collection. The music is presented in crisp notation.
Every piece in the book is included on the digitally mastered CD. Allan and Andrew Bonner have played these pieces artfully, and the result is a really lovely CD which is a pleasure to listen to. For the player who is new to violin music, the recording will give insights into the music and will be a pleasure to hear for anyone whatever their experience in music.
