I love Christmas music! Therefore, when I decided to record some of my favourites in different time signatures, I had one rule: it had to still be very recognisable! I present It’s Christmas Times, a twist on a few of the familiar holiday melodies. From Let It Snow as a waltz in three, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen in five AND seven, to The 12 Days of Christmas in one to twelve and back, this album should fit nicely in your holiday collection. Still singalong-able but unique and interesting, you can nerd out in counting along or just enjoy the new feel to old tunes. Merry Christmas!
