Open Mic Adventures LXVI: “Scribblings I: Post-Christmas Concert Scribbling”

After the big Christmas Concert on Friday, 8 December 2023, I took a few quiet moments to unwind and scribbled out a little piece in my music journal.  It became “Post-Christmas Concert Scribbling,” then I added the pretentious “Scribblings I” to the title, which means there will eventually be a “Scribblings II” at some point.

It’s a short, fun little piece, meant to have a vaguely yuletide sound to it, unfolding at a moderate tempo.  The whole thing has a slight bit of pomp to it, as many great Christmas carols do.

Here’s the video of the piece, featuring a great picture my little niece happened to capture at an early birthday lunch for yours portly:

Here’s the beautifully-formatted one from Noteflight—complete with guitar and/or piano chords:

Finally, here’s the original, hastily scribbled, handwritten manuscript; note some of the small changes between this version and the final product:

Happy Listening!
