Garritan's Christmas CD Volume II 2005

[DPDAN]

Well, it's that time of year.... no just kidding.
There is just six months before the deadline for submitting Christmas Holiday songs for the second Holiday CD.

Please post what songs you would like to do for this next Garritan Holiday CD.

[mscmixer]

Oh no! We're only just getting into June, please don't make me think about Christmas already, lol!

[Garritan]

Last year's holiday CD was fantastic. There were over 20,000 downloads!

I received so many emails and reposnses from people who absolutely loved it. Some even commented that it was their favorite holiday CD. Thanks all of you who contributed!


Last year's holiday CD had 20 holiday classics. Perhaps we should make this year's collection a multiple CD collection with pictures and graphics.

Let's brainstorm some ideas for this year's CD.


Gary Garritan

[Joseph Burrell]

It was fantastic and the music was superb. I can't wait to be involved again this year!

And we'll have so many new users around by then. Maybe a 2 disc set isn't that bad an idea.

[Jerry W.]

I know that I will be contributing. A Holiday CD is one of those things I am planning on doing for a family Christmas Present this year.

Hopefully there will be something I can do that will be good for the GPO one.

Jerry Wickham

[stmain]

I'd be honored to contribute something myself... I gather that the submissions should be arrangements of existing Christmas tunes, not original Christmas-y compositions... is that correct?

Steve Main

[wes37]

I've been working on "All I Want for Christmas", but my revised lyrics need some work. Any suggestions?

All I want for Christmas
is a GOS II & GPO Advanced Group Buy,
GOS II & GPO Advanced Group Buy,
GOS II & GPO Advanced Group Buy, Oh!

All I want for Christmas

[Jonny Lost]

Jonny will be there!!


:D

[danpowers]

I have a couple of original Christmas songs. I just got studio recordings made of them with voice and piano. One of them is orchestrated, and I plan to do the other one as well. It might be possible to seperate out the vocal track and mix it with a GPO mock up of the orchestration.

If that doesn't work, I dibs "In Dulci Jubilo" this year.

[Jonny Lost]

Someone needs to make sure that Carol of the Bells gets done. That's the one tune that was missing from last years CD that I thought should have been there. If nobody wants to do it, I will. I'll take one for the team! :D



Jonny

[DPDAN]

Song list so far....
Carol Of The Bells... Johhny Lost
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire... DPDAN
O Come All Ye Faithful... Falcon1

[sporter]

Do you have to use Garritan samples?

I finished up a Christmas CD, and I would love to submit one of the tracks. I think I used Garriton lite on one of them. . ., but that's about it.

[joaz]

Where is the list of last years songs so I dont duplicate....I would like to do "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
regards

[SeanHannifin]

Last Christmas's CD was wonderful! It really put me in the Christmas mood, it was an excellent idea and the contributions were superb.

I'd love to contribute to the next one. However, I wonder if we are running out of classic Christmas tunes that are in public domain . . . :eek:

A multiple CD collection might be a must, as I expect there will be many contributions! :)

[Stephanie Pray]

I'll attempt Carol of the Bells :D If you don't want to do it Jonny!! It's one of my favorites...are there rules that I missed?

[danpowers]

Song list so far....
Carol Of The Bells... Johhny Lost
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire... DPDAN
O Come All Ye Faithful... Falcon1
Hey, don't forget I'm doing "In Dulci Jubilo!"

I'd love to contribute to the next one. However, I wonder if we are running out of classic Christmas tunes that are in public domain . . . :eek:
There's more than you think. I don't think we've even scratched the surface yet.

[Jerry W.]

I'll do something - Let me pick out my "Oxford book of Carols" here and choose!

I'll get back to you all soon.

[Stephanie Pray]

I've changed my mind!!!! I'd like to do "We Three Kings" if at all possible :)

[DPDAN]

Hi Sporter, I am not the one to make the rules, thank goodness :)
I imagine Gary will pop in and fill us in. My guess is that since this is a Garritan Holiday CD, most of the sounds should be from Garritan's libraries. To use mostly someone else's libraries and a flute from GPO kinda defeats part of the purpose of the Garritan libraries Christmas Holiday CD, in my opinion anyway.

Your thoughts Gary?

I wanted to do Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire so bad, and it was not public domain, so I paid Harry Fox Agency and got permission by buying the rights to use it.

Maybe Gary could fill us in there too?

Dan

Hey, thanks..and no problem. I love Christmas music, and having just finished a project I couldn't resist chiming in.

Here's a good resource for public domain tunes. Many Christmas songs are public domain.

http://www.pdinfo.com/

I look forward to hearing this project!!
and of course, Harry Fox.

[Jerry W.]

I would like to do the Coventry Carol (Lully, lulla, thow littel tyne child)
(No, I didn't mis-spell it - I got that spelling from its original Old English in the Oxford Book of Carols).

:)
I'll have it started soon. :) What is the cut-off date?

Jerry

[Jerry W.]

I could do something more obscure if we don't want repeats

:)

I've got a ton of them! :)

Jerry

[SeanHannifin]

Oh, I'd love to orchestrate "Here We Come A Wassailing" :D

[BlueMax]

hee hee.... my second chance to do "Huron Carol"! :D

[Brian2112]

Maybe JABB will be out before then...

Jingle Bells Sinatra style!!!:cool: :D

...2112:)

[DPDAN]

oooh Jerry,
do the Alfred Burt arrangement that Singers Unlimited used for their Christmas album years ago.

ooooh that would be great!

Song list so far....
Carol Of The Bells... Johhny Lost
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire... DPDAN

[DPDAN]

What's the deadline for submitting something?
I think the deadline we used last year was the last week in November.
There has to be enough time for mastering, replication and mailing so that the CD's can be enjoyed by folks during the holidays.

Dan

[Garritan]

Let's not forget Jazz and Big Band holiday tunes http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Perhaps we can have this completed in October if that's okay with everybody.

Gary Garritan
I love deadlines (it's the only way I manage to get things done anymore (sad as that is... ).

I will get an arrangement done for this years compilation. Now I just need to figure out what tune to do, which Garritan library to use, and whether you'll allow a singer (not me, thank goodness :) ).

[Markleford]

- m

[matolen]

If it hasn't been done, and you'll allow me to, I'd like to do "Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle."

BUt if it has been done I'll pick something more obscure, and submit it, and if its no good of course you don't have to use it,

Mark

[wayne_rowley]

Have been quiet for a while but I just saw this thread. I would love to take part in this (if you are happy with entries from the UK).

I fancy orchestrating Once In Royal David's City. It wasn't on the CD last year and it is one of my favourites.

I should be able to complete it for October, as long as the deadline is the end of October.

I am looking forward to this!

Cheers,
Wayne

[LouisD]

Hi

I'd like to do God rest you merry gentlemen.

Kind Regards

LouisD

[RickD]

I was gonna ask about using a singer also. If you can I'd like to do Oh Holy Night, if it wasn't done last year I guess.

Tom

Who cares if it was done before? These are tireless tunes that have survived the test of time. There are tireless ways of interpreting these classics! Go for it!!!!

Rick

[Fabio]

I'm not certain to gain the right of beign included in the next CD, but be certain, you will have my contribution.

It's like paradise: you are not certain to be in the number, but you must try...:)

[Godfrey]

I'd like to give a go at the Gloucestershire Wassail ("Wassail, wassail all over the town"), if I may.

[Richard N.]

I wouldn't mind preparing a treatment of Jingle Bells, if no-one else had already claimed it. :)

Anyone doing the Wexford Carol?

If not, I'll take it!

Snor

[danpowers]

OK, I just had an idea. How about the Pastorale from Bach's Christmas Oratorio?

It would be something different, at least. But would it be too different?

If no one objects, maybe I'll take a shot at it.

[Drumroll]

I'd like to do "Pat-a-Pan" if it has not already been spoken for.

Hi Dan,

Save me 2 minutes or so to do a piece that will be announced later. I’ll probably use my guitar plus GPO or JABB. I guess that’s a dumb remark since it’s probably a given. :)

Karl

[robsmusic]

I'd like to contribute "The First Noel".

It shoud be finished sometime in the next few weeks.

DPDAN:

Put me down for "I'll Be Home For Christmas." This was a popular Christmas song for the guys overseas in WWII. I think it is appropriate at this time also.

Jack

[DZComposer]

Oh! I've got a couple of ideas for Silent Night, if that's still available.

[jmc]

Wow that list filled up seriously fast! I'd like to do something, but I'm not sure what yet. Apart from writing something original, I could collaborate with someone, if anyone was interested. I anticipate being busy around that time of year...

[Karl Garrett]

O Little Town of Bethleham

Karl

[Dargason]

Are there any copyright restrictions to be considered here? I notice that not all of the selections are tradition/PD...

[DanE]

I can submit my own contemporary arrangement of Good King Wenceslas using GPO and other synth. and sampling instruments. If you want to keep it strictly GPO, I can submit "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear".

Tom, I believe vocals are probably going to be acceptable as long as the vocalist is reallly good and pleasant for others besides family to hear. I plan to have a soloist on one of my songs, but it won't be me :)

ahhh, com'n Dan! :) Seriously, Chestnuts has to have a baritone, that'd be cool if you could get the rights to Perry Como's vocal track.

[Rhap2]

Good point. Has anyone done any research on how to get a list of Public Domain music? This would solve all of our problems for those that aren't doing traditional works.

Jack

[joaz]

Oh yeah er gulp,maybe I was a tad hasty piling in with a non-Public Domain Song.When Rhap2 did those lovely standards a while back,did that cause any probs????
regards

[Pat Azzarello]

Well, looks like something original for me as everyone seems to have taken the ones I've already started. Looks like I'll be motivated even more :)

A good friend of mine has consented to record a Christmas narrative (ex-radio guy that he is) and I'm going to compose/score against it. Any objections for the powers that be for this? Obviously the same copyright rules apply to the narrative as copyrighted songs.

Let me know what you think...

[David_Maddux]

Good point. Has anyone done any research on how to get a list of Public Domain music? This would solve all of our problems for those that aren't doing traditional works.


Here's a worthy resource:

Public Domain Music (http://www.pdinfo.com/)

[Rhap2]

Are there any copyright restrictions to be considered here? I notice that not all of the selections are tradition/PD...
Well, after an intensive search, I found that "I'll Be Home For Christmas" was one of the most often requested Holiday songs during WWII.

It was written (lyrics) by J. Kimball "Kim" Gannon who was a graduate of St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. Seems that when Kim died he assigned the royalties to his wife and she passed them on to St. Lawrence Univ. and it won't be in PD until about 2067.

I guess that about wraps up my entry.....

DPDAN: please delete my entry. I'll try for another traditional one.

I received this info by inserting "History of I'll Be Home For Christmas" in Google. Anyone interested in their entry's PD question might try Google to see if they can ascertain their PD position........as I did.

As a guide, it seems that songs written before 1922 are most likely in PD, but the last time I checked the copyright law it stated that a song is NOT in PD until the composer/lyricist has been deceased PLUS 50 years.

Thanks,

Jack

It's 70 years now, at least in the US. I think the 50 year limit is still good in some countries.

[Christopher Duncan]

What, nobody's doing Chuck Berry's "Run, Run Rudolf"? :)

[Markleford]

Someone could orchestrate my holiday song from last year: Bleak Night (http://www.markleford.com/music/files/04_12_markleford_bleaknight.mp3) ;)

- m

[BlueMax]

Hee hee... anyone remember last year's "Silent but Deadly Night"?

:p

I was thinking this year we could do a sleigh-bell rendition of Disco Bagpipes!

[Rhap2]

DPDAN:

OK, then, put me down for "Away In A Manger." This should be good for parents who like to play Christmas Carols for their kids and put them to sleep at the same time.............Well, maybe if it's not rock oriented..........

Jack

[jmc]

I have a few ideas for something original and holiday-tastic. Mark me down for something original as yet untitled.

[DPDAN]

OK Markelford, check this one out, this guy really gives it all when he sings
O Holy Night (http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/DPDAN/funny%20oh.holy.night.mp3)


Blue Max, who could forget. For those who are insulted by a cappella gaseous renditions, don't click on this link (http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/DPDAN/JingleSmells.MP3), you have been warned! It does get a little discusting at a few points. Man! those samples are realistic sounding. For more gut splitting laughter order this guy's CD called Smelly Holidays from www.pullmyfinger.com (http://www.pullmyfinger.com/)

Now if that wasn't enough warning for y'all. Sorry, even though I make no apology for my faith, I am human, and love to laugh. Sorry Gary remove this if it's not OK. :)

Hey Dan,

Oh man that was great. Joani said to tell you that she really enjoyed it too since that’s how she sings. :D

BTW would you please change my Christmas song from O Little Town to O Come O Come Emanual?

Thanks Dan, I’ll keep this version of O Holy Night close for when ever I need some comic relief.

P. S. Sorry to be a pain. :)

[matolen]

I have a question:

I am pretty much done with my piece (was noodling around and it came together pretty quickly so I felt I needed to pursue it rather than put it off)

Anyways, is there a suggested time limit? I can't imagine "Flambeau" being more than 2 mins. 30 secs max. But I thought I'd ask.

mark

[Rhap2]

Tom:

"An Unhappy Christmas Without You"

"Lonely at Christmas Without You"

"Without You, A Christmas is not"

"Christmas isn't Christmas without you"

"Christmastime Without You"

"I Need You at Christmas"

"Holidays Aren't the Same Without You"

"Santa Will Bring You Back to Me"

"Christmas Wishes"

Oh well, I tried....................

[DPDAN]

Matolen, as long as the song limit is within reason.
Thanks for participating in this project!

Prince of Music... very nice lyrics, sad though because sometimes these lyrics are very true for some of us. Remembering the reason for the season will pick you up though. :)

dpDan

[rwayland]

Well, it's that time of year.... no just kidding.
There is just six months before the deadline for submitting Christmas Holiday songs for the second Holiday CD.

Please post what songs you would like to do for this next Garritan Holiday CD.

dpDan

Well, the only Christmas thing I have ever done is one that I did yesterday, after being bitten by the Burgundian Bug. "Fantasy Impromptu for Organ on a Burgundian Carol" , the carol being Pat-A-Pan. I offer this for inclusion, having already been told by Paula that she would not consider it treading on her musical toes. There is a link on the demos, midi page.

Length is 3' 23"

Brought to you by, G Tel records! :D

most likely it will be, however some folks won't make the deadline, while there are those who still have not signed up.

[SeanHannifin]

Thanks for maintaining the list, DPDAN!! It seems like this will definitely a great album. 2-disc sets are my favorite! :D

[Jeff Turner]

The actual title to "Chestnuts roasting...." is THE CHRISTMAS SONG, written by Mel Torme. It's not in P.D. yet.

Jeff

[rwayland]

So how do we get the stuff to you? Send a .wav on a disk? Upload .wav, mp3, or what?

I am quite sleepy and weary just now, so I may have missed the answer somewhere.

Richard

[Dargason]

Sign me up Dan... my tune is John Rutter's "What Sweeter Music".

Wow! The list filled up fast! I like Jerry W.'s idea of doing a set of tunes for family and friends as a holiday gift, but for this project put me down for:

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

I have a question, however.

I found a public domain arrangement of this tune that I'd like to use. Is there any restriction against that for this project, or is it understood that you start with just the melody, and build your own arrangement from that?

[mistahamma]

Mistahamma, are you joining us again this year? :)


Hey Dan! You know, I've been toying with the idea, but I've had a full plate with other things for awhile. But maybe I'll burn the midnight oil a bit! Love to be a part of this again. Have to check out the list to see what's missing...

Sending out my CD selection in the mail today. I am pretty satisfied with the way "Un Flambeau..." turned out.

I hope no one (esp. Dzcomposer) minds but there is a brief interlude between the main sections which plays "Flambeau" in counterpoint with "Silent Night." Not meant to diffuse the playlist(!)

Is there still time to submit? I'd like to contribute an original piece titled "Snow Travel" if there is still time. Can we use a couple of non-Garritan samples? Just a few? I started this piece long before I had GPO but have since converted many of the samples to GPO. I'd love to have a reason to get this piece finished soon.

Hi Eric!
I think that as long as it is predominantly GPO, you are fine. I have a piece I wrote five years ago that is going to HOPEFULLY be on it and it has a non-GPO piano that was part of the original recording. (an SATB choir piece with piano that I orchestrated with GPO this month).

This might have to turn out to be a double CD - I hope so. The more the merrier!! :P

[Fabio]

Well, it seems you have already satured the whole repertory...but not in Europe yet... :D

So I still have something to propose:

- "Tu scendi dalle stelle", the most popular Italian Noel, it's a very simple and popular melody, a challenge to enlight his natural beuty with the right orchestration.

- "Oh Tannenbaum", a so inspiring German melody, really good for orchestral development.

- "Il est nè" and "Entre le beuf et l'ane gris" two French nice tunes, also good for development.

I will tell you soon what I decide to make.

[DPDAN]

That's great Fabio!

[Rhap2]

MovieMaestro:

The Melody in the last part of the first carol is not one I sang in church. It may be an offshoot of the popular carol, but, in my opinion, is too much of ONE NOTE (mono-tonal). Better check that out. The second arrangement has a strange meter in my opinion, but it can be written that way. Just want to caution you before you jump in.

Maybe your public library will have a book of carols or at least some kind of church hymnal that you can use to compare the first two examples with.

Again apologies for asking what may well be a stupid question.

moviemeastro:

The link Drumroll provided IS the most popular version of this carol (in my opinion). Funny it's missing a time signature, but you know it is in 3/8 time.

If it was me doing this carol for widespread play on a CD, I would go with Drumroll's selection. Just trying to get you fixed on a version so you can get started with GPO. Go get 'em Steph............

Why not just make it a high quality MP3? (256 kbps should do the trick)

If the music is good enough, the audience won't have time searching for audio imperfections :)

[DPDAN]

Aziraphal,
As you probably know, the lower the rate of an MP3, the more grainy and ugly the sound is. An audio CD is going to allow the maximum quality of sound at 44.1khz.

Most folks listening to the final product will be listening for the sheer enjoyment of the music and production of it, especially since most listeners are Garritan Sample Library users. If someone wanted to take the time searching for audio imperfections, as many will..... they will find them, and many folks won't have to search, the imperfections will stand out on their own. Lowering the sample rate of the MP3 will not cover up or diminish the ability for a bad mix or some sloppy midi editing to be heard.

If I were sending my piece of music to be put on a CD along with others, I would want my song to be heard with the maximum quality that is acheivable.

Just my response to your post of 256 being "good enough" :)
Please feel free to send in what ever format you wish.

I realize that your post is only a suggestion, but I think suggesting that sending in an MP3 @ 256kbps instead of an Audio CD, is not ideal in the interest of maximum fidelity. Hopefully I have not discouraged anyone from participating because of the requested format.
dpDan

[Aziraphal]

Ok no problem with me, just wondering :)

But just maybe - in case there is a selection among entries - we should first send the MP3's to be reviewed by the bosses, and send the CD's upon confirmation.

I certainly plan to participate - there's lots of old and beautiful Slovenian Xmas songs the world should hear about.

Cheers Matt

[mistahamma]

Just finished up "Angels We Have Heard On High", will be sending it out on Monday.

Jim

[SeanHannifin]

Time for me to get started . . . :)

[gardibolt]

Finished my arrangement of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing this weekend, and got what was a pretty good mix, I thought, but then I burned a CD and tried listening on the stereo. Urgh. Back to the drawing board--computer speakers aren't a good example of what the thing will really sound like, it seems. Substantially need to boost the bass, in particular, and pull back the trumpets. So there's more tinkering (and more CD-R coasters to be made in the testing process) to come. But should have it ready in a week or so. Maybe I can run a cable from the computer over to the stereo for testing purposes.

[DZComposer]

I'm going to have to drop my arrangement. School needs more time than I thought. :(

[Drumroll]

I'm going to have to drop my arrangement. School needs more time than I thought. http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif
I just finished Silent Night for another project. I am happy to add it to the GPO CD if you'd like.
Best regards,
Paula

[Fabio]

I started playing with my proposal, to find out ideas.
Then i decided to stay on "Tu scendi dalle stelle" because even if it's very simple, and then difficoult to develope in an interesting way, it's anyway the most Italian Christmas song, and I wont to let you have it as a sample of my country popular music.
the melody and lyrics (http://praiseofglory.com/redemptorist/tuscendi.htm)

I just finished the project layout, overall structure, development and harmonization, strings overall parts.

Now I move to whole orchestration and finally mixing and recording: I suppose in a week it will be finished.

I hope the result will be good enough to be heard beside the other great works I'm certain will be included in the list: it's my little personal challenge. :o

[DPDAN]

Matt, no confirmation is needed, and thanks for your thoughts. :)

Great Jim!

geter movin Sean ;)

Gardibolt, I know what you mean about the CD coasters, I have a few of those too :) Don't feel bad, at least you are giving it your best, I like that.

Dan (DP),

I know this sounds like a feeble excuse but I may not be able to hit the deadline with my Jungle Bells rendition. I had a complete windows failure on my DAW and I am in day 4 of rebuilding - 4 days that are on my critical path!

Apologies if I don't make it - please don't excommunicate me :D

[DPDAN]

Hi Richard, try your best, we can squeeze you in :)

Dan, mine will be in the mail by Weds. morning AT THE LATEST.
You didn't specify whether it had to be POSTMARKED by the 31st or in your hands by the 31st. :p From Indy to StL can't take that long...


PS--Sorry about the Cardinals...NOT!!! I have never forgiven them for beating the Yankees in 1964, and I never will. But I did see the game in which Mickey Mantle hit a walkoff homer against Barney Schultz.

[DPDAN]

Hi Matolen you have a PM from me.


Sorry about the Cardinals...NOT!!! I have never forgiven them for beating the Yankees in 1964, and I never will. But I did see the game in which Mickey Mantle hit a walkoff homer against Barney Schultz. I am really not a die hard fan of sports, but when the Cardinals are doing really well (which is most of the time) I do watch, I'm a part time fan. Did you happen to see the 8th inning of their last game in Houston when Albert P hit that home run and drove in three runs to win the game?
That was great!

Thanks Jim! :)

Song list....
...List of tunes received


If there's still room, I'm in the final stages of my piece for this Christmas. It's a public domain (traditional) piece called "I Saw Three Ships" and is available for preview from this page:
http://www.patazzarello.com/Christmas_music.htm

I even put a few seconds of silence at the front of this mix (an inadvertant tribute to John Cage - that's my story and I'm sticking with it :) ).

I've got a bunch of little stuff to work out on this (including mixing it), but I should have no problem completing it by the deadline (and I can post the WAV file to my site, so we don't have to worry about mail).

As always, comments are welcome.

I have a question....:confused:

Since I'm still having EXTREME difficulty with the traditional version, would it be ok if I just make it my own version as long as it's recognizable as "We Three Kings"?

Please let me know...

Thanks,
Steph :)

That's the approach I'm taking with "Here we come a wassailing" You can still recognize the theme, but you probably wouldn't be able to sing along :D

Similar to my approach with O Holy Night, except that I'm experimenting with the accompaniment that takes it different places than the original dictated :) Should be fun. I know I'm having fun!

Can't wait to hear this years project!

Thanks,

All of the pieces are not quite here yet, and some have graciously bowed out due to time restraints, but those folks hope to be able to contribute next year.

I'm not sure of the times yet, but it will be full... that's for sure!


Not very appropriate for this topic but.... Happy Holloween everyone!

Start working on it now for next year. Quite a few folks just couldn't finish, so you're not alone. Thank you for the heads up.

[Garritan]

Wow! That's a lot of holiday music. Looking forward to enjoying the holidays with your music.

We are now at the point where the music will no longer fit on a CD and need to make some decisions. If more than one song was submitted we may have to choose just one. Also, we now need to close the submissions.
The only way around this is to may an MP3 CD. Many CDs read mp3s or you can burn an audio CD from MP3s. Would you be in favor of this or would you prefer a typical audio CD?

Thanks all for participating and thanks to Dan Kury for making this happen. This is going to be a happy holiday season with this music.

How about double CD? :D

[DPDAN]

How about double CD? :D

A double CD is way more expensive for Gary since he is graciously paying for all this, and there is not enough material to fill a second CD.

A huge thanks to Gary for this wonderful opportunity for our music to get into so many homes.

Fodera's off to Gary! :)

[Dargason]

If we narrow it to one selection per submitter can we make it onto one CD? If not, MP3 CD is okay by me as long as the bit rate is still high - like 192+...

[SeanHannifin]

You could narrow down the selections to fit on one "mail-out" CD, and then have the "extended edition" as an online download, allowing listener's to burn their own CD's from the other tracks . . . just as last year's is available for download.

I think an MP3 CD is also a good idea, allowing for more songs on one CD, and would be playable even on many DVD players . . .

Fedora's off to Gary and Dan!! :D I sure am looking forward to Christmas!

[SeanHannifin]

Also, if you want to make a second CD but don't have enough to fill it, I'd be happy to compose another extended edition of my Bolero for Piano. :)

[ailteoir]

if there is not enough room on the cd i would not be offended if my submission were omitted. i was one of the last to sign up for it and my arrangement of the traditional irish christmas carol, Dom Oiche Úd i mBeithil, is, i think. more traditional irish than traditional christmas.
on the other hand if additional matieirial for a second cd is needed i do have a recording of another traditional irish carol, The Enniscorthy Carol, which is much more christmassy, although it has already been covered by Snorlax.

I wouldn't be offended if you left off my mock up of the Bach Sinfonia.

[EricWatkins]

I probably missed the memo but, Can I pay for, and order, more than one copy of the Christmas CD for family and friends?

[mistahamma]

Gary- I think the most universally acceptable solution would be for you or Dan to act as Producer here, and trim the selections down to make the best standard Red book compliant CD possible, playable in all CD players, and then have all selections available for download as mp3 files, similar to last year.

Jim

[gardibolt]

I'm inclined to agree that Redbook CD is the way to go on this since I expect many of these are destined for family & friends who may not have an mp3 player.

I do like the idea of an 'extended edition' available for download too though.

[TobyBrez]

Here is another vote for red book audio cd. Definitely have family and friends in mind.

Having said that... I too would understand if my piece did not make it on the cd. I have a feeling that my arrangement of Greensleeves is quite different than the rest of you "real" composers' pieces.

Although it features GPO samples exclusively, the main "real" instrument is classical guitar.

I hope it all works out and thank you for everything... Dan and Gary!
Looking forward to hearing the finished product.

Toby

[Styxx]

I concur, Red Book. :)

[DanE]

I also agree with Mistahanna's suggestion (post #233).

Dan

[southportJim]

I agree on Red Book, also...I've already got one earmarked for family out west and they don't have MP3 players...plus we need the best quality we can get.

Extended download is a good idea though...

;-)

[Rhap2]

I also agree with Mistahanna's suggestion (post #233).

Dan

Concur also with Mistahanna's suggestion.

http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/DPDAN/menubar_grover.jpg Hello e v e r y body.....

I agree about the redbood CD although I really do like yellow more than red :)

Right now, at least one song, maybe two needs to be deleted because we are out of space.

So, who is most willing to give up a tune, Dan Powers tune Sinfonia will be deleted :( thank you Dan,
but we are still perhaps two songs over.

Anyone want to make the sacrifice?
This part is difficult for me. :confused:
I scrapped one of my tunes, I fealt bad because I had submitted two.

I also vote for the Red Book CD.

It's awesome that there is too much material. Whoever thought this would be a problem when GPO was released 2 years ago!

Jim

[Pat Azzarello]

I know I was in very close to the deadline so if you need to take mine off feel free.

I too vote for Redbook (better quality, universal playback). Will Gary post all of them on his site again this year? That way those who miss out will be able to be heard as well.

[Robert M]

Posting to say "I agree" with this, and that I would take no offense at being bumped from the line-up if need be.

Hi folks,
I'm not really sure what to say at this point, it is possible that another song may need to be deleted, and if so, we do have some very kind people that have offered, let's see how things pan out shortly here, and I will give a report.

Thank you everyone for such great communication, patience and understanding.

Dan

[DPDAN]

I just received word that Robsmusic piece will not make it, so I believe the last list posted is the list of entries that will be on the CD, I think anyway :)

This will be a great Christmas CD! :)

[EricWatkins]

I might have missed this in the thread but with 25 pages of thread, I think I'll just ask. Is there going to be a downloadable CD label or jewel case cover or insert to go with this? If it's just downloadable, is there a particular format I need to have to render this as a whole CD project or what? Just wondering. Thanks,


Eric

[snorlax]

Again, if you are short on space and have other stuff that shows off GPO better, feel free to cut mine out.

Jim

[EricWatkins]

Bump :) and back two posts

[DPDAN]

Sorry Eric, I don't know how I missed your question sorry,,
ummm.... I reallly can not answer that, we would need someone to create a nice cover with the artwork and have Gary approve it. Gary is out of town shortly so he will be able to answer this with more accuracy than I can. It is possible that Gary already has something in the works.

Jim, you're on there :)

[falcon1]

When will the Cd be released? :)
