Bravo! Reminds me of a bit Emerson, Lake and Palmer (without Palmer). Something tells me you were a fan.

[smalin]

@terrybeaton No, not especially.

til measure 12 is a chorale, isn't it?

[smalin]

@erroll9621 Right (and the chorale tune comes back later).

[erroll9621]

@smalin at measure 87, right?

[smalin]

@erroll9621 Actually, the tune comes back earlier, at the end of measure 50.

I thought you were an atheist. Since I am not acknowledged of this piece's end(s), I can't really tell...

[SANTARII]

Well that was certainly interesting o.o

@gsarci2011 The original carol is anonymous. None of the original carol appears in this piece, however (all the music here was composed by me).

[gsarci2011]

Reminds me of computer music from 3:43 till the end of the canon. Nice piece anyway, sir, but who composed the carol?
