Peace and Joy (belated Christmas ‘24 piece)

Hello everyone,

I wrote a Christmas piece for violin and piano with a pop-style song structure (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus, coda), although there are no lyrics (really bad with writing lyrics, sorry!!^^).  This is one of my first times writing music in pop form.  Enjoy!!(:

Hi @Frank Normandy

The piece really does sound peaceful and joyful! I like it with a simple violin melody and piano accompaniment. For me it doesn’t sound pop style but rather like Japanese anime which I like.

Maybe it’s really a “Song Without Words”!

Thx for sharing!

Hi @Frank Normandy!

Thank you for participating in the Christmas Music Event!  I think your piece is very charming and bittersweet.  I love its simplicity.  But it's not without its complexity too which gives it a certain depth because of the non-harmonic tones used on the strong beat in the melody and occasional chromaticism or borrowing from other modes.  Thanks for sharing!
