A Cinematic Christmas!
Don LaFontaine sounding voice: THIS CHRISTMAS...
*Scene of a dark snowy street, overlooking a fancy house in the Chicago suburb of Winettka.*
...IN A CITY...
*Scene of the Fox Plaza in Los Angeles, somehow covered in snow.*
...WHERE ONE MAN...
*Scene of a lone figure standing at a train station in the snow, where an old steam locomotive pulls into the station.*
...IS ABOUT TO UNLEASH THE MAGIC OF THE SEASON.
*Cue me stopping the whole thing with a record needle scratch and speaking with my Spongebob sounding voice.*
Guys! This isn't a movie, this is just music that wouldn't sound out of place for some thriller or fantasy epic set during Christmas time!
*Film crew groans and sighs.*
...
A Cinematic Christmas! Featuring four tunes decked out with more weepy choirs, bells, and booming sounds than needed to summon that holiday magic! Featuring, in order as you'll hear it:
Carol of the Bells (as used in various holiday things, Ukrainian Carol), because creepy bells are a must for a Christmas thriller!
Believe (from the Polar Express, music by Alan Silverstri), because nothing stirs the wonder more than one of the most epic holiday scores ever written, all to accompany one of the most uncanny films ever.
Ode to Joy (used in Die Hard, music by Ludwig v. Beethoven), because the movie it was in IS a Christmas movie, thus it makes this tune Christmas music.
Somewhere in my Memory (from Home Alone, music by John Williams), because it's just magical, that's why... Even if all people remember is Calvin's antics at the end of the film.
Frankly these won't sound like how they were made in the movies or used in trailers. And to be fair it was kind of an undertaking because I was working mostly from lead sheets on top of adding in my own instrumentation to them. Whether they "summon that holiday magic" or just come off as bloated orchestral scoring is up to you.
The picture used for the thumbnail/MP3 image is the real house used in the first two Home Alone movies located in the suburbs of Chicago. It's an actual tourist attraction for the community, although it has a fence around it so the occupants don't get bothered by visitors. At one time the owners let people stay the night during the holidays for a charity event, so I heard.
