The holidays are a perfect time to get together and play Christmas duets (or trios) with fellow violinists. I absolutely love transcribing these easy Christmas duets for two violins. Here’s a collection of some of my favorite carols arranged for two or three violins.

Angels We Have Heard On High Violin Trio Sheet Music

Angels We Have Heard On High is beautiful carol that is perfect for a duet or trio. In this version, those descending scales alternate between first and second violin. The third violin part features whole notes so any brand new beginner can join along!

Angels We Have Heard on High Trio for Three Violins

Angels We Have Heard on High Violin Duet

Apparently I like transcribing this Christmas song for two violins because I found not one version, but TWO in my Sheet Music Library. I’ve transcribed hundreds of songs for violin and violin duets and trios, so I guess sometimes I can’t remember which Christmas carols I’ve already made into duets! Try both versions and see which one you like better!

The First Noel Violin Trio Sheet Music

One of my favorite Christmas carols is The First Noel. No Christmas violin duet list would be complete without it!

Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabella Violin Duet

I love this beautiful French Christmas carol for violin. It’s even better for two violins!

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Violin Duet

I love minor Christmas carols. This one is perfect for two violins!

Carol of the Bells Violin Christmas Duet

What collection of Christmas duets for violin would be complete without Carol of the Bells? What are those slashes through the stems in the violin duet part you ask? Tremolo! Quickly “tremble” your bow at the tip for the right sound. I explain it all in my Music Theory for Violinists Course.

Christmas Play-Along Violin Duets

If you would like to play some Christmas duets with me, I’ve created a playlist of myself playing the melody and harmony to favorite Christmas songs for violin.

Purchase A Fiddling Christmas to play along then visit the playlist here.

Happy Practicing and Merry Christmas!

P.S. While I love writing out these duets, like all of the sheet music I produce on my website, they take a considerable amount of time to transcribe, edit, and upload. If you would like to download any of these easy Christmas violin duets, you can (and much more) when you sign up for my online studio. Try it out here!
