Originally written by Billy Hayes and Jay Johnson, Blue Christmas was famously recorded by Elvis Presley in 1957 and became an instant rock-and-roll holiday classic! This Cellobat arrangement for violin & cello duet is fun to listen to and easy to play - there is nothing written above first position, and the rhythms are basic other than a handful of syncopations and some triplets. Easily sightreadable for professionals and playable for early-intermediate students as well! A great Christmas staple to add to your binders when your group books some holiday parties, or just a fun song to play when you're feeling festive :)
