Christmas & Chanukah Ensembles, Cello part

Christmas & Chanukah Ensembles, Cello Part, arranged by John O’Reilly and published by Alfred, is a seasonal collection designed for beginning cello players in string ensemble settings. Correlated with Book 1 of Strictly Strings, this 24-page cello part includes 23 holiday favorites for Christmas and Chanukah, making it a practical choice for school orchestra programs, private studios, winter concerts, and classroom performances. The music supports early ensemble skills such as steady rhythm, careful counting, listening across parts, and confident cello line playing while giving young musicians familiar seasonal melodies to perform. Suitable for string quartet or larger string ensembles, this cello part can be used with the corresponding violin, viola, bass, and piano accompaniment books to create flexible holiday programming for lessons, rehearsals, and festive performance events.
