Full Version: Piano Carols In Three Parts?
Forums > ABRSM > Teachers

While it's in everyone's mind, I'd thought I'd ask for some help (for next year) on some publications you may have.

>>I'm looking for 3 line arrangements of Carols for piano (see below, near end of post)<<

I have (for PIANO):

Carols in 2 parts (i.e. one in the right hand and one in the left):

# Piano Time Carols (Oxford) Pauline Hall - good for some
# Chester's Easiest Carols (Chester) Carol Barratt - very useful & fun
# A Merry Christmas (MSM) Henry Duke - the best and most useful
# The Easiest Tune [not "June" though it looks like it doesn't it!!] Book of Christmas Carols (Ashdown) Eleanor Franklin Pike

....and some old books of the full arrangements in 4 parts for a pianist - MORE MODERN BOOK SUGGESTION WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR THIS, THANKS!

Piano Duet:

# Christmas Carol Time (Faber) Fanny Waterman - excellent, one or two line arrangements for BOTH players, so pupil can learn either part!!! - wonderful.
# Chester's Christmas Duets (Chester) Carol Barratt - I have volume 2 and it's 1 or 2 line arrangements for each part [but less colourful than the above Duets, but I have an OLD copy].


BUT.............

Does anyone have a copy of Christmas carols arranged for 1 pianist that have THREE lines at one time (i.e 2 notes in the left hand chords and the tune in the right - sort of thing).....PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

This will save me AGES on websites or in a shop, and hopefully some of the above info will be useful to others too!

It would fill the gap between the easy 2 line arrangements and the full 4 part, when they're at the standard between!

Many thanks for your mutual help!

It's a mix of 2 and 3 part arrangements.

There's a second volume too, but that seems to have fewer 3 part arrangements though there are still a few.

I found a website the other day which may have a few of what you describe -

I'll check the url and post a link

there is a sprinkling of carols among other stuff - might be one or two that will fit the bill

Thanks for the ideas so far

[# FEAST OF EASY CAROLS Carol Barratt £4.99 - mixture of 2 & 3 parts,
# USBORNE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS Stephen Cartwright £4.99 - mixture of 2 & 3 parts]

Thanks Maggiemay for the website - for this though I'm looking for a book.

If anyone happens to have a whole book of 3 line arrangements (I'm sure there are lots out there somewhere) do let me know PLEASE, otherwise I'll get some of these books.
