Spata, Doug: Winchester Carol

This original piece is written in the style of a cheery Victorian carol! Using only simple rhythms and first-finger patterns the D and A strings (G in Bass), this bright winter tune is perfect for students who have just learned about the ¾ time signature and are getting ready for their winter concert. Part independence is kept to a minimum with frequent doubling between parts. An optional piano part is included for additional support and harmonic interest.
