Hi, everyone! This is for @Left Unexplained's Christmas Music event! The piece is based off a PC set (025), formed from the first four notes of the original tune, and twisted in wild ways. Thought I might add a little variety to the pot. Hope you enjoy!

I think this is quite beautiful. Thanks.

Glorious. I was going to replay it but then there was a repeat at the end. How did you know that was exactly what I'd want!?! 😛 There's so much going on here! I love how you made the descending bass line from the original so off beat in this version. The rhythms in general were just really enjoyable. Lots of color and energy! The chords you ended on were also great. This whole thing was just very satisfying to listen to!

Awesome. The aural result is quite strong, and, although veeeery distantly, I can hear the remniscent "Silent Night", which is a very nice touch. Also props for the recording. I hope my family doesn't mind listening to this on christmas eve...

Neat little work here. We can't break away from our habits, can we? 🙂 Maybe you would do this on a more powerful notation software, but some of the sixteenth note leaps and stuff made it look a little bit strange and hard to manage; the rest beaming would have worked well for it. I think I may not also agree with all of your pedal markings since they do span over a lot of notes, but I can't deny it's a neat effect. The chromatic motion used as a supplement to the Schenkerian Ursatz was super clever. I enjoyed this a lot!

wow.. I don't even know what to say. That gave me goosebumps. The fact that you played it for us made it way more special. Thank you for this contribution

For some reason, it's not letting me download your score. Is there a way that you can fix this? Got it! Thanks!

That certainly was a deconstruction of the theme -not quite what I thought you would do with it. I love the microtones that you display here and would be highly interested in chatting with you on writing with them for strings! The harmonics are also a nice touch. Nice to see someone use them more creatively. Good work here!

I am in no way the sort of person who could possibly draw any connection between this and your alleged source material, but it was pretty fun to listen to. I'm not familiar with all the extended techniques possible on... well on any instrument. So I loved hearing them in this! So many little touches that I wouldn't think of! Very creative and beautifully played!

Well, that was a ride, and that's no joke! Not my preferred style of music, but the articulations kept it interesting. But THE BEST PART was getting to hear you play that live!!! I loved that! Edit: I didn't hear her play that live in person. Just on the recording. Like the rest of you heard her.

Ah - mkay! I use Ableton, so I'm not familiar with how you'd adjust those settings in FL, but I'm sure a little internet research will have the answers. Anyway, I can tell you that I'm learning a lot from my own experimentation, so stay encouraged about trying new things and explore all the rabbit trails that catch your fancy 🙂 Gustav
