(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!
