Is it too early for Christmas Music yet?
Well, the radio stations don't seem to think so. Personally, I think I could hear it all year long.
Holiday music is uplifting and I love to pay attention to the composing styles of these diddies......most of the Christmas songs were composed in bright keys w/uplifting bouncing melodies or just plain ascending notes to create an uplifting feeling. Contrary to the minor chords that create a feeling of downward motion or just a little rainy day sorta feeling.
Fun Fact: "Blue Skies" was composed on a dare, "Betcha can't write a happy song in a minor key?"
So enjoy the music and know generation after generation of musicians/composers have created these happy songs to cheer, uplift and downright inspire us to search out the meaning of the True Celebration of Christ-mas.
Enjoy Your Journey, you only get one.
