| I have one for Greensleeves, but it included Saxophones. I can easily make it for orchestra. And I'd like to do that. |

| I think what you were looking for, Aephion, was "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". I think. Does it go: Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more. Through the years We all will be together, If the Fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself A merry little Christmas now. --- If so, that's the "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". I'm sure Judy Garland would be proud. |

| What a good idea but................ If you would have done this in September and posted it on the sibelius site you could have made a bit of money on the side! |

| What was the Sibelius site doing? Some promotion or something? Even though it's good practice, I can never find the time to do stuff like contests and challenges. Which is weird. --- I'll probably be using the following Instrumentation (for easier reading): (opt.) Piccolo 2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Bb Clarinets 2 Bassoons 4 French Horns in F 2 Bb Trumpets 3 Trombones Tuba (not certain which one is going to end up being the best) Timpani Percussion* Violin 1 Violin 2 Viola Violincello Contrabasso * Percussion will definitely include Bells, Chimes, Snare Drum, Bass Drum, and Cymbals. I am thinking about including Sleigh Bells, Tambourine, and a few other instruments, such as a Wood Block. This is going to be my first attempt at a fantasy, so here's the hoping for the best!
