Bring the joy of the season to life with Christmas for Two - a unique collection of 70 well-loved Christmas carols and songs, expertly arranged by William Himes for two like (or similar) brass or woodwind instruments. Whether you're playing on the streets, in a church, or at a community event, these duets are perfect for spreading festive cheer with just two musicians. Inspired by a lifelong friendship and decades of caroling experience with The Salvation Army, revered composer William Himes has crafted accessible duet arrangements designed specifically for flexible instrumentation. After years of performing Christmas music in larger ensembles and later adapting those traditions into euphonium duets with his friend Mick, Himes realized the need for arrangements that sound full and satisfying without a full ensemble. As Himes explains, "Attempting to play duets using quartet books didn’t work well because the most suitable alto harmony constantly shifted between the second and third part lines. We also discovered that our duets attracted as many Christmas donations as full ensembles!" • Perfect for Small Groups or Street Caroling - ideal for covering more donation sites or when a full ensemble isn’t available. • Requiring average range and technique, the music is arranged in accessible keys also suitable for accompanying singing. • Available in Multiple Keys & Clefs - separate, easy-to-read march-size books for Part 1 and Part 2 in Bb, Eb, F, treble clef, and bass clef, in both international (A5) and U.S. (5"x 7") sizes, landscape. • Available as both PDF and print copy. Print copies are available from both our UK and US distributors. For US print versions, please order here. For UK print orders, please see the product link below. Christmas for Two is available as follows: FULL SET PDFs (A5 or U.S. size), including: Part 1 Bb Treble clef* Part 1 Bass clef Part 2 Bb Treble clef* Part 2 Bass clef Part 2 Eb Treble clef* Part 2 F Treble clef* BASIC SET PDFs (A5 or U.S. size), including: Part 1 Bb Treble clef* Part 2 Bb Treble clef* PRINT COPY. Please note print copies are only sold as individual books, not as sets. *Two horns (Eb or F) can play these duets using Bb Part 1 and 2 books but should not attempt performance with other instruments at the same time. Whether you're continuing a caroling tradition or starting a new one, Christmas for Two offers a joyful, practical way to make music together - and make a difference - during the festive season.

After joining Manger Musikklag, he was given many opportunities to have his arrangements played at concerts, learning a lot from this and being inspired to arrange more for larger ensembles, full brass band and solo pieces.

Back Naomi Hill Naomi Hill is a composer and arranger, euphonium and baritone player and music educator from West Yorkshire. As an undergraduate music student she studied performance, conducting, musicological research and composition at The University of Huddersfield, graduating with a First-Class Honours BMus Music degree in July 2023. She is finishing a MMus Music Performance masters at Huddersfield in September 2024. Growing up in The Salvation Army, Naomi has been surrounded by musical influences from a very young age; it is from here where her passion for music is rooted and where her brass playing, and composing began. This influence, particularly as a composer, continues to remain an important part of her work and musical identity. Surrounded by a rich heritage of brass bands, situated in Yorkshire, Naomi performs regularly with brass bands, sometimes as a soloist and also enjoys performing with other ensembles such as symphonic wind orchestras and chamber groups on both the euphonium and baritone horn. For Naomi performance comes hand in hand with composition and these aspects of her musicianship greatly influence one another. In recent years Naomi’s compositional output has increased and her music has been commissioned, performed, published and has been recognised in composition competitions – she was shortlisted as a finalist for the A4 Brass Quartet Composition Competition in 2022 and awarded the Under 24 Award, Winner of Foden’s Band Female Composer Competition 2023 and Winner of the UniBrass Composition Competition in January 2024. Naomi’s compositions cover a range of genres and ensemble types from chamber groups, choral, piano, brass and wind, and brass bands, but she always finds particular joy in composing and arranging for brass, exploring the diverse tonal qualities and nuances of brass instruments, and exploring these in her experimentation of different harmonic colours. Her focus on harmony is often a key area of exploration in her work and this underpins the continuing development of her compositional style. Through her varied areas of work as musician, she is particularly passionate about drawing emphasis to the way music can transform and unite society, and also aid communication, nurture individuals and cultivate creativity in a way that is unique, and this holds intrinsic value to society and is an important part of Naomi’s musicianship.
