Calistri-Yeh Variations on "The Twelve Days of Christmas"
This is a virtuoso showpiece for violin and cello, consisting of twelve variations: one for each of the "Twelve Days of Christmas". The variations cover many musical styles, and each instrument gets equal time in the spotlight. This is sure to be the highlight of any holiday concert!
A few notes on the parts and instruments:
- The standard ("std") parts are the original parts and are designed to be played together.
- The alternate "a" parts, if present, are raised one octave (8va) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the higher instruments listed. They should work as long as they are above the other parts.
- The alternate "b" parts, if present, are lowered one octave (8vb) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the lower instruments listed. They should work as long as they are below the other parts.
- For example, using parts 1, 2, and 3 together is definitely ok. Using parts 1a, 2, and 3b together is probably ok. Using parts 1b, 2, and 3a together might not work well.
- Part ranges are listed in concert key, where C4 is middle C.
