Here are two wonderful Christmas carols of quite different feeling that I arranged this month for two mandolins and octave mandolin, also playable on three mandolins. OM is better for harmony line, with glide strokes and as much sustain as possible.
“Coventry Carol” is an exquisite 16th century English Christmas carol, which tells of Herod’s slaughter of the innocents.
“Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle (You Come Down from the Stars” is a very popular Italian Christmas carol with music by the Neopolitan priest Alphonsus Maria de' Liguori (1676-1787).
