With the Christmas season behind us, I'm wondering if anyone has come across any favorite Christmas arrangements for clarinet. I'm trying to find stuff now before people forget. Mostly, I'm looking for religious music suitable for playing in church but wouldn't mind hearing about a good fun secular song. Most of the arrangements I've seen are beginner pieces.

I'll definitely follow up on the Sparkes book. Solo instrument with keyboard (organ or piano) is what I am mostly looking for, but duets are possible. John I downloaded Sussex Carol duet. I really liked the recording and a duet is doable in my church. We don't have a quartet. I appreciate that you included multiple woodwind transpositions. I'm going to see whether it works with flute -clarinet combo. Sometimes that combo works and sometimes it sounds weird.

This is a book I ordered from that-online-site-that-shares-the-name-of-a-large-Brazilian-river:
14 Advanced Christmas Favorites: Clarinet Solo and Play-Along Orchestrations Arranged by Sean O'Loughlin (for Clarinet)
I didn't get a chance to perform any of these but I read through them all with the included orchestral accompaniment CD. The arrangements are not difficult but they don't insult an advanced player's intelligence, either. Very appropriate carol arrrangments for a church service.
