Various :: Music for Three - Mixed Incidental and Christmas Trio Series

The Music for Three Volumes offer some of the most flexible, convenient arrangements of common gig pieces for trio and optional accompaniment available. The five volumes included here are those most commonly used for casual, professional, and holiday settings (Volumes 4, 5, 6, 7, and Christmas). These volumes range from waltzes and opera arias to fiddle tunes, pop music, and popular Christmas classics.

How To Use These Books

The Music for Three Volumes are versatile trio arrangements with interchangeable parts, designed for gig ensembles with sometimes unusual instrumentation - up to two treble instruments, one bass instrument, and optional accompaniment.

Because the accompaniment part (keyboard or guitar, with chord symbols) encompasses both parts 2 and 3, several arrangements are possible as long as Part 1 is played. Here are several possible combinations:

• Part 1 + 2 + 3
• Part 1 + Accompaniment
• Part 1 + 2 + Accompaniment
• Part 1 + 3 + Accompaniment
• Part 1 + 2 + 3 + Accompaniment

Part 2 is available in three forms due to instrument range: Flute/Oboe/Violin, Clarinet, or Viola. And, because of this flexibility, parts are sold separately.
