Carl,

Not hearing Father Christmas included threw me off track, but WOW! I like the merging of major and minor themes and the use of dissonance. Talk about tone color!! How many insturments are there and how many people played them?... and if it is all you, how long did it take to put all that together? If it were not for all the odd tones it could be a classical composition. Despite twisting it up into a minor key and sometime clashing tone colorations, it maintains a very strong sence of melody. Not an easy task to accomplish. KUDOS TO YOU!!
