A Friendly Reminder Thank you very much for purchasing the PDF edition of the Christmas Saxophone Duet Book, by Kyle Coughlin. Please remember that this PDF file and the information in it is just for you. Even though it is very easy to make copies of this file or print pages for others, it is not acceptable to do so. Making copies or printing pages for others takes away from sales, which hurts musicians, authors, publishers, and all of the individuals who are making an effort to provide other musicians with quality educational products. That loss of income prevents creators from developing the progress of their art to the fullest of their ability. Please be considerate of the rights of those who create music and art. If someone has given this file to you and you have not paid for it, you may purchase it by going to www.SkyLeapMusic.com Thank you for your consideration!
This book is dedicated to my Mom.
Thank you for filling our home with the music and spirit of Christmas every holiday season.
Christmas Saxophone Duet Book
25 Christmas Carols for Beginner and Intermediate Saxophonists For Saxophones in the Same Key This book consists of twenty five of the best known and beloved traditional Christmas carols -- one for each day leading up to Christmas. They are written specifically for the saxophone with beginner and intermediate students in mind, and they progress in terms of difficulty. There are at least two versions of every carol in this book. The first version of each song has the melody entirely in the top line of the saxophone parts. In the second version of each song, the melody is traded back and forth between the two parts. When playing the second version of any of the carols, always pay attention to the sections where you have the melody and the sections where you have the accompaniment. Your dynamic level should be slightly louder when you have the melody and slightly softer when you have the accompaniment part. Special thanks to Tom Benjamin for the suggestions on the arrangements, and thanks to all of the composers who wrote these beautiful melodies. Please check www.SkyLeapMusic.com for more educational materials. Have Fun and Have A Very Merry Christmas! Kyle Coughlin
