This collection of 6 Hanukkah songs is for viola solo, duet, or trio all in first position or open strings only.
These arrangements are written to be accessible for violists at all levels to play alone or with others. All of the melody and duet parts are written so they can be played in first position without any shifting and the open strings parts can be bowed or plucked without the use of the left hand.
Some possible ways to enjoy this music:
¥ Play the melody as a solo
¥ Sing the melody while playing the duet part
¥ Sing the melody while playing the open strings part
¥ Play the melody and duet parts as a duet
¥ Play the melody and open strings parts as a duet

The music is presented as a score with the open strings parts written in letters above the music. There are also separate open strings parts at the end of the book for easier reading.
