Really well done, Mario, you are truly a master at MIDI!
Best to you and yours for Christmas.
Thanx Dave. I'm really not a master at MIDI, just a hacker at MIDI. You only hear what comes out OK and not the many other "almost made it" tracks and patches. Marioland is always such a wonderful place to visit. You astound me, Mario. Such creative talent producing such engaging sounds. You also amaze me correctly using "whom." Merry Christmas from your pedantic friend. Thanx Marty. Sometimes my usage of who and whom is determined by a coin flip. Those two words are very confusing to me. I'm creative because my brain is a half a bubble off center!
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

Stunning aural interpretation of that event. Peaceful and majestic. Quite the heavenly composition!  I'm glad that you like it. Hi Mario,
Another quality instrumental from you.
Have you used any of these as movie soundtracks?
Merry Christmas from the other side of the world.
Best Regards
Nigel No Nigel none of my songs have ever appeared in a movie. The man with the big cigar has never knocked on my door.

Hi Mario
Great Relax Song
Just switch off and enjoy
Your song makes it possible
Great work Mario
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanx so much Andi. I'm very glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks Mario for your wishes and for this wonderful touching piece/peace of music, perfect soundtrack for Christmas, it tells more about Christmas than any song with lyrics. Well constructed and the instruments blend together very well. I hope to hear more great tunes from the wizard of MIDI next year  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023! Janne Thanx so much Janne, especially this line "it tells more about Christmas than any song with lyrics". I really appreciated that. But I'm not "the wizard of MIDI", just a hacker having some fun.

Very, very nice Mario. From beginning to end I was able to sit back and envision that clear, dark night with shining stars surrounding the that shown so brightly. You sure hit the mark with this one - loved that ending as well! Thanx so much Brad for this wonderful review.

"I need a better thesaurus. "Peaceful", "tranquil", and "meditative" have all been used already!"
Ditto what David said.
And everything Janne said.
We are late to the post so it's all been stated.
We feel this could have been a backing track for many, many Christmas productions.
A wonderful way to end a year of your great compositions.
Happy Holidays!
J&B

Merry Christmas to you too Mario.
This is majestic yet soothing, great, great job !

Hi Mario,
I'm very late, due to illness, so now I'm trying to catch up with all the songs I missed.
Your song was the first I listened to and it hit the spot right away!
I can agree with most around here that you made a a very nice song with this one. I liked the 'strings' synth a lot.
Very relaxed and that created time to spend in reflection.
You did a very good job on it,
Hans
