A Yuletide Dream (Remastered 2023) by MrBouzouki published on 2021-12-23T15:59:01Z This was an unexpected piece to round off another year after the acquisition of the wonderful VSL YMIR children's choir library. Well what can you do except compose a piece using it ;-) Given the time of year a seasonal piece made sense and once I had a title then I was away. I also took the opportunity to practice orchestral wooshes (they are a thing). The ones in this piece comprise a cymbal roll, a timpani roll and a harp gliss. Many of the instruments employed here like glockenspiel and tubular bells are popular in this type of music and obviously sleigh bells make an appearance. I took the liberty of quoting 'Deck the Halls' in some places too. I wanted a dream sequence in the middle of the piece which is mainly choir and alto flute, although the glockenspiel and percussion makes an appearance. It acts as a nice contrast to the general festive sleigh ride feel. Wishing you 'The Compliments of the Yuletide Season' :-) Release Date: 2023-12-01 Label: Peter Goodrich UPC: 735910951592 ISRC: GX4W52300001 Available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube and other sites.

The choice of the title seems relevant to me because the sound environment in general. Variants break free from monotony. I like it ! Magnificent work! 2022-08-28T10:31:49Z Comment by Pianissimo Really a fantastic Christmas piece Pete. I would maybe lower the volume on the bells ever so slightly, but that's really only a minor point and probably just a matter of personal taste anyway. I think the arrangement is wonderful and the production is also top rate. Well done! 2022-08-05T01:33:16Z Comment by Pianissimo This timpani is perfect 2022-08-05T01:32:08Z Comment by Pianissimo Really nice instrumentation Pete 2022-08-05T01:31:18Z Comment by Pianissimo The bells are a nice touch 2022-08-05T01:29:59Z Comment by Pianissimo Magical beginning 2022-08-05T01:29:44Z Comment by Till Indy Beautiful! 2022-07-06T02:39:22Z Comment by Audio Colors Very nice composition and atmosphere as well ! 2022-03-25T19:13:56Z Comment by Frans Beelaard Very nice strings and choir section..elegant mix & recording production! 2022-03-21T06:59:32Z Comment by boon-suzuki Incredibly beautiful composition and arrangement! 2022-02-08T04:48:42Z Comment by CreaFlow perfecto 2022-02-06T17:39:14Z Comment by Ricardo da Silva a magical creating full of emotion and delicate movement 2022-02-02T15:50:28Z
