All the great ones are here in excellent arrangements that work well in a variety of combinations. These cover a wide range from one or two violins without or without accompaniment and downloadable backing tracks if you don’t have a pianist to hand. Add in the possibility of using an oboe or a flute, and also a singer as all the words are included, and you have a volume that will be forever useful. This really is a gold star book!”
