Rough draft Gustav Holst’s In the Bleak Midwinter. Debating whether to ruin this with a vocal part or not.

Beautiful Kavin!

Very, very nice!!! I can see myself sat in a high place over Texas (Big Bend?), staring at the horizon and listening to this music!

I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own. As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY

One of my favourite Christmas carols beautifully played sir.

Dreamily. Singing, being intimate, should not destroy magic here. The main thing - do not overdo with it ;-)

Really cool how the auto swell backs up the mic'd track so well.

Very nice man. I say run one with a vocal and one without. Let the listener decide. ;)

Guest said

Well , I say its a great track on its own. If you do a vocal upload so we can a/b them I like iT!

Beautiful guitar track, Kavin. Maybe whisper-y vocals with heavy reverb or just a subtle accompanying guitar might add just enough.

Guest said

P.S. I don't know about "ruin" with a vocal part, probably not "ruin" but it does hold up nicely as is......just my penn'orth. Jarvo

Guest said

I did not know ol' Gustav had written this ...very nice arrangement... Jarvo

Very enjoyable song. I'm always a sucker for acoustic guitar!

Gorgeous! How did you get that effect on the guitar? Sounds like a second guitar with the attack time slowed down. Nice!

Guest said

Great tune.
