I composed a Christmas Song! - It went great!

From 2023. computer with the original music score died from water damage unfortunately so there is no score. 

This was the most Christmas like song on my channel that I could find.

Hey, cool music, and welcome! Very Christmas-sounding indeed 🙂

The part at around :40 reminded me of the third mov. of Sibelus' 5th... you know that one? Check it out if you haven't, it's a masterpiece. 

Thanks for sharing, and give some thoughts on the other Christmas pieces in the event... you'll find more will check out your music if you listen to theirs too!

This is a very peaceful and festive piece that easily gets one Christmas feeling. I like the well-balanced and calm orchestration with the spices of the bells, trombones and pizzicato strings.

Condolences to your waterlogged computer, so it’s a pity that we have no score.

Thank you for sharing, welcome to the forum and a Happy New Year 2026.

Hello @raymond doerr!

I like your use of chimes throughout the piece. Starting from a more joyous A major and end on a calmer F major well fits the Christmas theme. Like @Wieland Handke mentioned I like the pizzicato strings at the end of the piece. Thx for joining the event and welcome to our forum!
