Performance Notes
This is a set of 25 carols and an opening Christmas fanfare, which is by far the hardest piece of the set. The rest are transcriptions of well known carols for four horns at very easy or easy difficulty level. Always a favourite at the right time, these quartets (or at least some of them) are playable by every ensemble.
