Carol of the Bells

Hey Janet, this is awesome!  I like your drum lines as well.
As one of my favorite christmas tunes, I think you did an outstanding job! 

Great job Janet! All we need is some bass on this and a few power guitars and we'd give Trans Siberian Orchestra a run for the money! Hahaha! Well done! :)

this is so cool Janet... killer arrangement... so well done...
Merry Christmas..

Thank you very much, Mike.  

Thank you, Marcus.  Now I think I remember a little of how I did this.  I had a few pieces of it but finally realized THAT piece sounded better over THERE.  So it was a lot of cut and paste to get to this point.  Most of the pieces on my CD sound a bit ho-hum to me now, but I still like this one.  

Thanks Danny.  Now that would be fun!  :)  I wish bass guitar and guitar players weren't so hard to find around here!    And that thread where you mentioned you'd have to play live.....trying to do this one would kill me.  First of all, I'd have to memorize it, (well, I guess I could print it, then read it, THEN memorize it.  That would be different seeing this written.)  Then of course...all the other parts.  Well, hmmm...maybe when I retire...if I ever do and if I can still play then. :) 


Thanks Tim.  You should do a version of this one.  It can be pretty repetitive, but pretty cool.  I think that must be why I changed it up so much.  I wish I could remember my thought process on this one...I just really wanted it to be different and those whacky parts just kept coming out of somewhere.  :)  


Thank you, Frank.  I'm still not sure it was me.  :) 


Thank you, Lynn!

Great arrangement/performance.  I don't know much about playing the piano but sounds like your hands got a workout.  Sounds wonderful!


Kev

Um, yeah, right, Robby.  :) 

Thanks Kev.  Yeah, I imagine they did.  But it was fun. :)

Thank you, Reece.  And hey, I'm not the first one to post something twice on here, am I?  lol

I thought I put the link in my original post.  (I'll check later when I have time) 

If not, it's probably on the 4th page of my SC site.  

Thanks for sharing your very special Christmas talent with us Janet.  Love the strings in this one!  A little low end would be icing on the cake!

Excellent.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks Scott!  Yeah, real instruments are always best, for sure.  Glad you found it.  The link didn't work?  

Thank you, Tony.  Low end? Yeah, good point.  Maybe I'll look into this one again some day.  :) 

Thank you, Jeff! 

This is IMO the single most sublime piece of music ever written. It is #1 on my list. Thank you for sharing. I love your version.

Thank you Daryl, Shad & Herb!  :)

Drums too loud?  Well, maybe I'll revisit this sometime.  Thanks for listening!  :)

Um, yeah, right, Robby.  :) 

Thanks Kev.  Yeah, I imagine they did.  But it was fun. :)

Thank you, Reece.  And hey, I'm not the first one to post something twice on here, am I?  lol

You know I'm not lying! I just go a little rougher on you via email? (constructive crits people.) On the forum, I am always the consummate gentleman... 


Or at least a primate gentleman? Anyway, you're a girl, so I can't play too rough? You're all "Sugar and ****e." I do love your music! "All of it." Well, most of it? :-)


The vast majority.


p.s., why would the forum hide the word s.pi.ce?


p.p.s, OHHH! IT THOUGHT I WAS MAKING A RACIAL SLUR!!?? Wow... Welcome to 1984 er um, 2012 I guess... So I guess I can't post that new one I was working on called **** and Span? A song about cleaning products?  That engine could use a tune-up, spi-ce is not a negative term, or slur of any kind. Geez

The computer thinks it's a racial slur. Stupid computer. Variety is the spice of life!!

Fantastic Janet - absolutely enjoyed this - Merry Christmas.
