Forum friends, it's been almost 4 years since I posted here, and I'm making a 2025 resolution to return--to be an active community member and to share some of what I've been doing. I hope you'll welcome me back!

Since it's Christmas Eve, I'd like to share this song. It's a work in 4 parts:
1) String Quartet (RT 2335)
2) Vocal (a "pro" singer that I "hired" from Fiverr)
3) A harmonized version using RT's harmonizing feature, to resemble a small choir
4) My attempt to make it a "round" -- it's clunky and muddled, but it was my invitation to have my (non-pro) siblings participate

Merry Christmas all! I'm looking forward to getting re-connected!

On a quiet night in tiny town
Shone a silent star like a royal crown
Shedding light upon the Truth born there
But the world slept on as if unaware.

While on earth mankind reposed in peace
Dreaming of a far-off day of great release;
But--in the heavens quite a different sight
Festive jubilation coursed the night!

Glory, Gloria, it's finally come!
The Father's great and wondrous work begun.
For tonight has bore the promised plan
This the day that God has finally come to Man!

On this quiet night
Under star's bright light
Comes a miracle, but out of sight;
It's the Glory Night
For the Saving Light
Has been born from Heaven on this blessed Night!
