Correlli's Concerto grosso in G minor, Op. 6, No. 8, known commonly as his Christmas Concerto, in a special transcription for string quartet.

The concerto bears the inscription Fatto per la notte di Natale ("Made for the night of Christmas"). It was composed around 1690, since there is a record of Corelli having that year performed a Christmas concerto for the enjoyment of his then-new patron.
