A draft mix... edits still needed - less cello & maybe add some strings? but wanted to post in case I don't get back to it. I've been seeing some great Christmas music here in PG land already & wanted to jump in ! https://soundcloud.com/cryoung/the-wonder-of-christmas-is-jesusTHE WONDER OF CHRISTMAS IS JESUS copyright (c) 2016 Curt Young Long ago, and far away A King was born on Christmas Day A Gift sent from Heaven to Earth Still He lay with Virgin mild A mother and her Holy Child While angels rejoiced at His Birth (Chorus) The Wonder of Christmas is Jesus He is the reason we sing Wise men still bow down before Him To worship the Heavenly King Shepherds wached while angels sang All the bells of Heaven rang To welcome the Child in the hay Wise men travelled from afar Following the Shining Star That stood oe’r the place Jesus lay (Chorus) Tracks used: 2557:Cello, Background SlowWaltz Sw 085 My eldest son played the piano part - and my daughter-in-law was kind enough to work up a scratch vocal for me. Suggestions are welcome! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Curt, You have written a lovely Christmas song here. I particularly enjoyed the vocal from your daughter-in-law and son's piano work. Christmas is a family time so what better than to enlist some family help for your song  Enjoyed it, Jez

Curt, there sure is some talent in the house here! Great work! Scratch vocal??? This young lady made me wish I knew how to sing. Piano playing was excellent! Thanks for posting, Torrey.

Very nice, Curt.
A good Christmas write. Beautiful vocal. Nice piano. And the cello compliments nicely.
Nice to see you posting! Merry Christmas.

Thanks, everyone... I appreciate the kind reviews.
Bob, Jez, Rob & Anne-Marie - Thanks, and I might say again that I have really been enjoying the Christmas songs you all have posted lately. Such a great variety of talented musicians and writers here. The Dutch second verse to "Silent Night" is pretty cool, too.
Scott, Torrey - very much appreciated!
Mr. Jane - I am always appreciative of your comments. You are one amazing writer, sir - and I am thankful for all those here who take the time to listen & offer help and suggestions.
I have been wanting to write a traditional Christmas carol for several years, and finally got around to it with some encouragement from my Granddaughter. I am blessed.
Merry Christmas to All!

Hello, Curt
I agree with Jez.
You have written a lovely Christmas song here.
I also very enjoyed the vocal from your daughter-in-law and son's piano work.
I have loved American Christmas songs very much from my childfood.
Merry Christmas to you from Japan.

Very pretty Curt!! I still haven't written a X-mas song but this is very inspiring. I like the arrangement-maybe a few more strings at the end would be nice. Nicely done all around! Take care. Greg

Shigeki - What a privilege it is to post music that gets to the other side of the world. Thanks for listening!
Greg, I agree that additional strings would work for this. I haven't had great success with getting the sound I want, but will add a few and mix with monitors when I do. Putting together a Christmas song is something I've always wanted to do. Thanks!

Very nice work on a traditional Christmas song.
I'd bump the vox up a few dB and call it done.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

A new write that immediately sounds like a classic!
A very nice production with the added value of family participation.
