In this hot summer we're h
In this hot summer we're having in the UK I must have been in the mood to write an Xmas song !
The words and the verse were provided by a friend of mine, Brian, a collaborative partner. I am added the middle 8, into, the arrangement and all the other stuff inbetween. The words still need some revison so I've only put a few up on the file and the aim ? To capture a joyous/ quasi-regal (christ the king etc) christmas song See what you think so far VST mockup coming soon !<center><table border=1><tr><td>new christmas song carpenter's song5.not (399.7 k)</td></tr></table></center> |

Hi Adrian
I listened a coup
Hi Adrian
I listened a couple of times to the .not version and also to the mp3. I like the way all elements work together. There is a soundfont you might be interested in trying. It's called Real Voice, or Real_Voice, and used to be available at http://www.sf2midi.com . It is the best solo voice font I've found, its only problems being that the tenor range above the Eb above middle C sounds like the tenor has become a castrato, and the lowest bass tones (the D and C) sound like he's got something in his mouth, like some foul tasting medication. But otherwise is quite good. I don't think I'd tinker with the piece too much in any fundamental way. It sounds like it ought to become a Christmas standard. all best, mgj |

thanks MG - for listening and
thanks MG - for listening and also the suggestion of the soundfont
Of course I'd love it to be an Xmas standard, but as we all know how does the unknown composer break into the corporate music industry ? |

The result is fantastic. The work that must have gone into the photographs, the text and the music staggers me. I do wish that there were a text to sung program available. There is something called Virtual Voice (I think), but it only works with a notation program from France, which when I tried it several years ago I found quite non-intuitive to use. I did make a recording of the first couple of lines of "Simple Gifts", using the operatic soprano voice, and it wasn't bad. But although there are several voices to choose from, there is no chorus, or wasn't at the time. Nevertheless, your latest effort comes off very well, and as I would wish for all music with words, I could hear a live performance. all best, mgj |

Re: My New Christmas Song
Howdy Adrian,
Cool! I'm glad you were able to use the new feature without (apparently) any problems. I find this to be a lot nicer than having to cruise over to YouTube to hear and see the video. I do hope someone jumps on the opportunity to perform this piece! ttfn, Sherry
