Hope You Had A Merry Little Christmas

Post by Dale Rottacker »

This is a tad late, or am I just getting an early start on next year?

Anyhow, I hope your Christmas was a Merry one, and Happy New Years too.

I did this on E9th a few years ago, but wanted to do it on C6th and with a track.

I think I found some reharmonization chords I hadn’t heard before, that I really like how they twisted my ear, yet sounded to me like they should be there. Even got some stacked 4th in it that to my ear fit.

This this will be my last Christmas song this year. I just started late (what’s new) and took me longer than it should have knowing nothing about music to write and massage the track to fit the chords I wanted to use in it so they sounded like they belonged there.

Thank you Jim ... I'd be less late if I'd start Christmas music in July, it just never crosses my mind when its 100º outside.
