Xmas music - Fantasia in C dur

[musicalis]

Hello my friends

For Xmas midnight mass, I have written this music for you.
The challenge that I had been led this time consisted in writing a piece of several minutes using only the same harmony (a chord of C major), from the beginning to the end.
It was not evident. I shall publish the sheet music in a few days, I hope that you will enjoy and play it.

+ YouTube Video

Le challenge que je m'étais imposé cette fois ci consistait à écrire une pièce de plusieurs minutes utilisant uniquement la même harmonie (un accord de Do majeur), du début à la fin.
C'était pas évident. Je publierai la partition dans quelques jours, j'espère que vous la jouerez.

Very very nice Jean-paul. Reminds me of the sounds I would hear if listening to " Amahal and the Night Visitors" .. I can hear and see night time and sheppards playing their flutes and dancing around being happy.. etc etc...Thanks again my friend

Did you use a toe piston to the reed sound in the pedal Theme then back to foundations?

I'm really impressed you have produced something so charming and interesting, in spite of the severely restricted harmony - perhaps it's an example of "less is more". To me it conveys a very safe, positive feeling - all light and happiness - ideal for Christmas.

Hi
I do not use a toe piston because the music is not played by me but by my computer. When I wrote the music i wondered how an organist could switch on/off the trumpet 8' at the pedal and my answer was he would need an assistant to pull / push the drawstop.
But you can use a toe piston if you have it.
