[Orchestral] Carol of the bells (mp3)

[bvanoudtshoorn]

An orchestral reworking of one of my favourite pieces of music.

I'm in the process of producing a "Christmas CD", and this is part of that project. In a lot of ways, it's to force myself to start writing music again -- I've been struggling to actually write anything for a while now.

Sounds good to me.  I like the occasional dramatic pause in the rhythm.  It seems like ages since you've posted anything.

Thanks, mrvegas and Samplekit! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It has been a while since I last put anything up, yes... hopefully, this marks the end of a dry spell.

Being heavily influenced by games from the 90s, I still prefer the Carol of the Bells version from Jazz Jackrabbit more , but this is a really nice rendition nevertheless with good instrumentation.

Hey BV! Welcome back man.

I'm glad you posted this piece. I remember hearing a bit of it from a movie called "The mirror has two faces" and I always wanted to know what the piece was, since it's really great.

Looking forward to your future works

@Jojo: Yeah, I'm a fan of that version too! Glad you liked my take on it as well.

@KrazyKatz: Thanks -- it's good to be back. I'll try to make sure that my "future works" don't disappoint.
