Nice take on a classic. Vocals are excellent, and the fiddle sounds great without getting in the way. I like the way the mandolin gently enters in as the song builds. Nice piano work as well! Cool ending.

Hi Firesong
Pretty composition of circumstance. Nice distribution between your voice and the playing of the violin. I must say that you really have a pretty voice that you know how to highlight. The musical construction is impeccable. I enjoyed it very much.
Kindly regard

Dan, very nice job. I talked with a Nashville producer once who was in the middle of a Christmas album project. He was frustrated and complaining about how difficult it was to bring a new sound to an old Christmas Carol. I never did listen to the completed project, but I'm sure he would be glad if it came out half as good as this one did. Great job, as has been mentioned, you made it your own. Merry Christmas my friend.

What can I add to the comments that hasn't already been said?
Nicely done.
Things I like:. The mix is good. Vocals are classic. Love how it not only builds as it goes along but the key modulations are perfectly placed. Loved how you adapted and arranged the old classic Christmas hymn into something fresh and exciting.
This was a real treat.
My only nit, and it's a small one.... On your vocals I would have reduced the reverb a bit and bumped up the volume ever so slightly. Doing so would put the vocal a bit more up front and intimate for the listener.
Man I really enjoyed your song.
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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
