    Hi Falcon

    Thank you for sharing that with us. It was certainly different, but I did enjoy it.

    I listened to some of your other work also. I find that the tempos maybe alittle to fast for my thinking in most cases maybe 20 beats slower or so per minute might help.: How ever you do have some good arrangements of hymns .I gage alot of tempos as well as phrasing by this rule: Could I sang along with this peice?? ( hymn/vocal music ). Thanks for sharing.

    To be honest I hate this (but I like some of your other work very much!)

    Nothing could make that song any worse than it already is, that said, you have acheived this very well.

    Stephan,

    I truly enjoyed your new version on this holiday tune.

    In my youthful years, this piece was 'drummed' into us every year during the holidays and I became very tired of it. But, your arrangement has brought new life for me in this tune ... thanks!!

    Krummhorn, that is great to hear!

    This tune is very popular here in Iceland too so my aim was to do something different and fresh with this popular tune. I'm very glad to hear that I managed to do that, at least for you.

    Again thank you all for your comments!
