You did a great job bringing out the melody on this one, Michael! 👏

[@Remi-B-Goode]

Very beautiful!! besides that, do you know the composer Josef Matthias Hauer ? I try to understand his "way of composing" but I can't; it's twelve tones music but theorized in a different way than schoenberrg; anyway i wanted to ask as you seem to know well classical music, have a nice day

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks for the comment! I haven't come across that composer before actually. Several years ago I did study 12-tone music a bit, but I'm a bit out of the loop with that style nowadays

I never took you for a christian...

True, my spiritual inclinations are predominantly Buddhist, though I do celebrate Christmas as part of family/cultural traditions. I do enjoy a lot of Christmas songs from a musical standpoint though!
