Cool music “mashup”

Greetings, readers!

Two days ago, somebody on YouTube came out with a rather remarkable video that I am sharing with you. It is a “mashup” of music from various classical (or classical sounding) composers. It works quite nicely.

I think part of the reason why is that it is all on the same instrument. Practically any combination of notes you play on a piano can sound like they work. This includes unpleasant sounds, as long as you then quickly move on to either a single note, or a better harmony.

What do you think?

Seasonal Songs: The Holly and the Ivy

Technically, it may be a bit past the time when “Seasonal Music” is actually seasonal. However, it is still December, and some are fine with that. Thus, as there is another song I would like to share with you, I am going to do so. This one is “The Holly and the Ivy”. It is another traditional one. It is a lovely piece, and I hope you enjoy it.

Seasonal Songs: “Christmastime”

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Happy “Day after Christmas”!

I’m realizing there’s a less-commonly heard song in Churches stores and stuff that I totally forgot to slip into this series earlier, so I’m including it even though it’s a Christmas song and it’s no longer before Christmas. And sorry for that run-on sentence.

Anyway. I like this one primarily because the background singers (after you get to where the song actually starts, which is about two minutes in) sound a bit like bells. It’s kinda like carol of the bells, except that it’s not as commonly done and stuff.

Although the song itself is known as “Christmastime”, I think of it as “Ring Christmas Bells.” So, yeah.

Anyway. Have a lovely Saturday!

Seasonal Music: Fum Fum Fum

Merry Christmas, readers!

I hope you have a lovely holiday.

In honor of Christmas, I found a very nice arrangement of another Christmas song, in a version that I had not previously encountered. It is a version of “Fum Fum Fum”.

I hope you enjoy it.

Seasonal Songs: How Great our Joy

Greetings, readers!

I had almost forgotten about this favorite Christmas Carol of mine: “How Great Our Joy”. This version I am sharing with you is another Cambridge Singers version. It alas ends with a major chord instead of in the key that the rest of the song is in. However, it is one of the better tone qualities around, and thus I am sharing this version. I hope you enjoy.

Have a lovely Christmas Eve!

Seasonal Songs: “Green Chri$tma$”

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So this one I think qualifies more as “social commentary” than “Christmas Music”, but it’s still seasonal. And it has some music. So, yeah. I’m sharing it. Tough, live with it.

And have a lovely Tuesday!

Seasonal Music: While Shepherds Watched

Greetings, readers!

Today’s piece is “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night”. It is a Christmas Hymn that not that many people are aware of. I certainly do not know it that well; I encountered it only very recently on YouTube. However, it is a lovely piece. I hope you enjoy it.

I hope you have a lovely Monday.

Seasonal Songs: I’m Getting Nothing For Christmas

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, I love my family. This song is one that I actually grew up with around the holidays, and it didn’t occur to me until recently that this is actually an uncommon seasonal song. So, enjoy!

And have a good day!

Seasonal Music: Walking in the Air

Greetings, readers!

Today’s selection comes from a short video called “The Snowman”. The video was (apparently) created in 1982, and is a charming video worth tracking down and watching. During the video, there is a lovely piece. It is assuredly seasonal, and thus I am sharing it. I hope you enjoy, and I hope you get to track down the video and enjoy that too.
