Cool music “mashup” Year II

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

As some of you may recall, exactly one year ago, I posted about a rather fantastic classical music “mashup”. That piece had a variety of famous composers’ music combined, on the piano, to make a rather lovely sounding piece.

The creator of that mashup has now released the second one.

Enjoy.

Wassail Song and Wassailing

Hi!

So, tonight’s my family’s annual Christmas Caroling Party. In honor of that, I thought I’d share a fantastic arrangement of the “Wassail Song”. It’s gorgeous.

Also, fun fact. It turns out that “Wassail” doesn’t just mean “hot cider”. It does, in fact, mean “caroling” at this point. I thought the connection between the two definitions was kinda funny. You can basically understand the whole history of that word. First, you have Wassail as the alcoholic warm cider.

Then you have people going around town singing drunkenly. Since Cider is especially a Christmas-y drink, the singers (or those going “Wassailing”) would probably primarily try for Christmas Carols.

Hence, “Wassailing” now also meaning Christmas Caroling.

So, yep. Have a lovely Friday!

(Another) Stunning Version of Carol of the Bells

Greetings, readers!

I know that there has already been a version of Carol of the Bells shared this December. I happen to rather love that carol, however, and so I am sharing yet another.

This is a more conventional one, with a full choir.

I hope you enjoy, and have a lovely Tuesday.

Re-sharing a Favorite Christmas Hymn: How Great Our Joy

Greetings, readers!

As you may recall, last Christmas Eve I shared a favorite seasonal song: How Great Our Joy.

The version I shared was a Cambridge Singers version. It had a lovely tone to it.

However, I found a more traditional harmonization version. It again is not as beautiful tone-quality, but it is still worth listening to.

I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

A look behind the scenes of some lovely music

TSFH music has been shared on this blog before. The Christmas Medley the Webmaster is particularly fond of is one of theirs, for example.

Recently, they released a “behind-the-scenes” video of a recording session. It is basically just a music video of the song they were recording and some footage of the musicians. It is still absolutely stunning, however.

Enjoy.

ANOTHER “Epic Christmas Music”!

Hi!

I recently encountered another lovely piece of music. (I think it might be part of the mix I shared Monday. But this is an individual piece I like.)

It’s a kinda trailer-esque feel semi-mashup of a variety of Christmas songs, called “without end.” It’s got some very interesting dissonances, and a lovely singer. So, enjoy!

Your Monday needs more “Epic!”

Hi! Happy Monday!

As I’m sure you’re aware, it’s Holiday Music Season, where one-time favorites get replayed over and over again in their stale form until you can’t stand them. And it’s a Monday.

Worry not! I’m here with a semi-solution to both those problems!

Well, I can’t actually fix it being a Monday. But I might be able to help improve it! You see, I recently came across a lovely 2 hour playlist of Epic Holiday-ish Trailer-ish music! It’s got some fantastic orchestrations of some of the old favorites, but in a delightfully exciting way. Perfect for both your holiday and Monday woes!

So, yep. Enjoy!

Fun, Epic arrangements of Christmas Carols!

So, I realize that I maaaay have been a bit “off” with when Christmas Music season started… I think I’ve previously protested it starting too early. In part, that’s because there are a LOT of WAAAAY overdone ones that get started way to early. So, this was probably the first time in a while I’ve been excited about Christmas music!

Anyway. I found a different arrangement of Carol of the Bells. Since it’s now December 1, and therefore an acceptable time for Christmas music by (pretty much) any standard, I thought I’d share it. Enjoy!
