All of our sheet music downloads are especially arranged for each instrument. They are based upon the music from our Book of Christmas Carols so you if you have this book, you don’t need to download the sheet music – it will be in the same key! We have also added a few dynamic markings to make things a bit more interesting!
Out sheet music downloads are ideal for a small christmas project, once it’s perfected you can play along to our downloadable backing tracks!
What to expect in the PLAY-ALONG BACKING TRACKS
Our The Holly and the Ivy backing tracks come in pairs. One download is two tracks. You will get one .mp3 track with the melody and the backing, and the other .mp3 track will be just the accompaniment (so you could even do some improvising)!
All of our play-along backing tracks are especially arranged for each instrument. They are based upon the music from our Book of Christmas Carols so you if you have this book, you don’t need to download the sheet music – it will be in the same key!
If you are playing from our Book of Christmas Carols then play through The Holly and the Ivy twice, and watch out for the 1-bars + 2 beats + upbeat introduction!
What you will hear on this track varies according to your instrument. A recorder player will play with a recorder ensemble, brass with brass, a saxophone will play with other saxophones, and winds with other winds. There is, of course, a smattering of percussion as well!
Please note: your instrument will have its own sound on your recording (e.g. if you play recorder, it will have the recorder sound!).
Each music download includes two tracks – one with accompaniment only, and the second with accompaniment and melody.
The music tracks are in .mp3 format (and will require unzipping/decompressing – just right-click on the .zip file once you have downloaded it), the sheet music is in .pdf format.
WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO ACCEPT ORDERS FROM EUROPE AND THE USA! If you prefer not to pay in £, PayPal will convert to your desired currency once you have passed through our checkout and into their portal.
