    Hello everyone!

    I have been looking for some middle-high school Christmas choir music that has a duet part for lower intermediate players. The womens choir we would play with can be either SA or SSA.

    Another option could be a piano/harp duet played on two harps. That could get tricky though.:/
    Thank you!

    You may like to use these pieces to find compatible pieces for women’s choir. Perhaps you will have to transpose some of the pieces to make them fit between the women’s choir parts

    There’s a piece by Daniel Pinkham called COMPANY AT THE CRESCHE(SP?) which is scored for three part treble voices, handbells, and harp. The harp part could be doubled or divided up between 2 players. It consists of 6 or 7 short movements. If you don’t have handbells, it could be played on glockenspiel or celeste. The publisher would be E.C. Schirmer.
