Hi! Here's a couple notes- my idea was to string together a number of parts of Christmas melodies, each melody so familiar that a listener would think the words, and by pasting the lyrics together, create a melodic "ransom note" that will highlight the core messages of Christmas carols- hopefully drawing attention to the awesome meanings in the lyrics- because sometimes, (being heard so casually- in thier familiarity) it's easy to miss the Great Message. Part One is Christmas melodies set in the Relative Major of the key of F (Ionian Mode), Part Two is the same figure on the Carillons, but in the Relative Minor of F, D Minor (Aolean Mode). Sometimes people ask me what all the different songs are- (and there are MANY odd snippets!)- if you want- email me and I'll tell you them. For me, I think the best part of the record is just to put Part Two on repeat... Thanks for listening!

I hope you feel loved this very Christmas- here's my best gift to you-
