The sound of Christmas from Band Supplies

Don't be a Scrooge and make sure your band has a Christmas Carol for every day of the festive season and more this year...

Chrstmas
  The Christmas Collection has all the carols and tunes you need this festive season...

Band Supplies is making sure ensembles will be musically well prepared for the all important festive season with the launch of a new Christmas carol book, entitled 'Christmas Collection'.

Updated version

It is an updated version of the popular 'New Christmas Praise' book which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

'Christmas Collection' contains many of the same carols and arrangements, but also has 46 additional or newly arranged carols and songs as well as 10 popular Christmas marches and carol arrangements that have been reprinted from the 'Sounds of Christmas' journal.

'Christmas Collection' is available in full score, brass and wind band parts, words & music (piano) and words only.

Full Christmas repertoire

The wide range of parts allows ensembles of any size to navigate through the full Christmas repertoire. The words & music piano book contains only the sacred Christmas carols, and also features guitar chords.

The new book has also provided the opportunity for a new A4 format version to be produced for the parts and words only versions, with music in larger print.
