Traditional music for kids' Christmas performance

Hi Sherry,

Lovely piece. I guess I can imagine it as a polka, but you'd better save that for another occasion ;) I tried to imagine kids voices replacing the celesta, with the celesta itself barely audible behind, and this piece could wind up as the "hit" of the program.

Incidentally, I had to up the celesta and pad master volume to the 80-85 range to hear them at all in the GM version, but it all works well at Soundclick.

all best,
mgj

ps. with email so slow these days, this might not arrive until after Christmas.

Hi Sherry
I could not imagine a " merrier" X-mas for your family and community with these beautifull songs.Infant Holy being my favourite ,also because of the ( "mouse played " ) guitar part ( listened with Merlin-Vienna and Framus acoustic soundfont ).
Is there any chance to hear your kids and your Taylor singing and playing along "live" in soundclick ?
Regards
Djim

p.s. btw, the tempo of the above file should be quarter note=120. I had saved it while slowing it down to practice with.

ttfn,
Sherry

Hello Sherry,

I was preparing to write a blog at O'Reilly about a nice arrangement of Twelve Days of Christmas that one of our customers showed us a few years ago. So, in hunting for it I found your Twelve Days of Christmas. Wow, what a treat to have found yours!

For those reading who haven't heard it yet, Sherry's arrangement is a collage of excerpts of other Christmas tune against the background of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

The rendition using just normal the GM soundcard is fun, but the version at www.soundclick.com/beanfield_castle is very rich sounding.

Cheers
