(Very Casual) Christmas Mesh Up

Dear all,

Happy Christmas for all of you! I used common Xmas tunes to create a cute mesh up!

I can't remember how many times I wrote a piece for Christmas - but I gonna try sth new this year.

A very short and casual piece by blending different genre - 

1. Chime playing Flamenco in triplets (3rd and 10th beats are strong beats)
2. Marimba playing Salsa (Doted rhythm)
3. Ukelele - in standard rhythms

Nice blending of styles, and a fun little catchy tune. Love the animated Santa graphic haha.

An incredibly interesting brief piece—I'm really hooked. I like the polyrhythm and how well it's put together. I'm not really catching the flamenco rhythm, though (haha... I come from the land of flamenco, so forgive me!).

Hi @HoYin Cheung!

It sounds a lot like the interlocking structure of Gamelan but this time with chimes and marimba haha. Nice polyrhythm as well. Thx for sharing!

Another piece reminiscent of a music box or carousel at a Christmas market!

However, instead of pins on a rotating disc plucking the tuned teeth of a steel comb, it features a well-crafted score so that a visually trained person can follow the musical progression—provided they are not distracted by Santa Claus whirling around.

Hi again @HoYin Cheung

I find reviewing pieces like this very strange because I can hear some themes in this that sound familiar and I can't be sure if it's because your using pre-existing Christmas Carol themes or if you're varying something/mashing it up or if it's just a slight allusion to other themes.  So I don't know which aspects of the composition are your own original work and how much is taken from other pieces.  I have done 3 Christmas Mash-up's this year myself and I try to give the listener clues letting them know what to listen for and which Christmas Carols I'm using in my renditions.  Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!

Thank you all for listening!

@chopin I really hope to add some visual bonus to my audience - and more exposure on Youtube - that's why the Santa is coming!

@Luis Hernández Hey, long time no see! When I was writing the mesh-up, I wanna try some sophisticated rhythm (in dance), and flamenco first comes to my mind. I hope it sounds authentic to you as I learn it from Wiki lol

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Wow, never knew the Gamelan music and that was unexpected you think in that way!

@Wieland Handke Hope you enjoyed the music! I know my music may be difficult for some of my audience, and it is always good to add some visual aids if it helps.

@PeterthePapercomPoser Hey! I apologize for my bad description. I have attached my detailed annotation for your reference. I hope that will clear things up.
