Found Cello Duets arranged by Thomas H Graf (Germany) at hitfactory2009. 

Here's 3 Christmas Cello Duets with rolling sheet music! 

"The Christmas Song" - (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) - Cello Duet. 

 

"Sleigh Ride" - Cello Duet (it's NOT Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire). 

 

"American Christmas" - Mash up Rondo of best Christmas songs - Cello Duet.

I thought I was a fanatic about Christmas, but this is why everyone loves the Cello! 

Jesse Ahman's Christmas Cello - THREE HOURS! 

 

Throughout this piece you'll hear my cello arrangements of many different popular Christmas Carols. I improvised the duet part to each song. This meditation is meant to stir up sentiment, help process the emotions of the holidays and such. I wish everyone a wonderful holiday. Thank you for being such a positive listening audience. I love you all! Cheers.

...really enjoying this today - I'm exhausted. (lol)

I was thinking how great the duets in the OP would sound on my Viola!  

...which I haven't played in quite a while.

It's really nice to hear these played briskly on the cello! 

For me, I can't even begin to think about playing tunes 'briskly', especially on lower/thicker strings - until I can make myself 'feel' the energy I want to put into the bowing.  I HAVE TO FEEL IT, running through my veins, BEFORE I even start moving the bow! 

....some days it isn't easy to find that energy within myself.

Sometimes it's difficult to get myself to even 'pretend' there's such a thing! 😵  I have to really dig to remember what makes me feel that 'energy' & WIND IT UP!  

More & more I want to blame a lot of things for not having it, but with a little clearing of my thoughts, a little look ahead, possibly a little humor (and if all else fails, COFFEE 😁) - energy 'magically' appears & I play faster... and the extra effort it took never fails to make me feel better. 

Wishing a little 'magic' for everyone!
