Christmas Music Event

I thought it would be fun if we got together and made some Christmas compositions this month. There are no rules, there are no winners, just composers appreciating each other's contributions this holiday season. If you don't celebrate Christmas, feel free to enter music for other holidays or music inspired by the holiday season. The due date is December 25th. Have fun!

Also, for every piece submitted I will donate 1$ to my local food shelf. It's not a lot but if more people want to join in on pledging we could all help make a difference while doing what we love!

I'll do something in modern/impressionist style. The song I'm leaning towards is "On This Day." Does it matter the instrumentation? Like, should we all do something in the same genre (orchestral, for example)?

No rules anything goes. It doesn't have to be a cover though, I'm making an original piece.

I'll also be writing an original piece. It's based on a fragment I've had in my back pocket for a while, but I'm excited to take it in this direction. My theme is "Christmas Eve." Thanks for organizing this, @Left Unexplained

@Noah Brode No problem, it seemed like fun :)

If I have time, I'll write a little comedic 12-tone or some sort of set-theory based adaption. Short and sweet, as I think it'd be enough to give the audience a good little laugh.

I wrote a Christmas carol a couple of years ago (it's actually uploaded here.) I think that with the knowledge I have gained over the last few years, I could revise it an make it much better. It's a great idea you have here @Left Unexplained!

I'll join in too! I feel confident I can put together a little duet for piano and saxophone. Why saxophone? Heavens if I know!

Hi, should we upload the pieces in this thread? I have one.....

Here is my piece.

Here's mine!

Here it is... 

I am composing a winter piece and will tag it in this event. It is taking a while, but, I think I can finish it by December 25th. Hardest part for me is figuring out what to name the piece. I know I want a winter related name, but I also know that I don't want it to just be Winter, since that could imply many different feelings from the drama of a storm to melancholy, to more of a joyful dance. I'm sure I will figure it out before I am done with the composition.

Here's mine! I know it's a little weird, but I really enjoyed writing this!

And here is my contribution!

Here is the gift that I can think of:)

Looks I will barely finish the piece on time. I just went through the hardest part of composing it, so the rest should be smooth sailing.

Thanks to everyone who submitted pieces (or is going to)! This was a wonderful experience.

I got my piece finished on time. Here it is:
