Left Unexplained Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) 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!

Tónskáld Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 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)? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Unexplained Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 No rules anything goes. It doesn't have to be a cover though, I'm making an original piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Brode Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Unexplained Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 @Noah Brode No problem, it seemed like fun :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarcheon Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aMusicComposer Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJthesleepdeprived Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caters Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caters Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
