The Christmas Star – Vi The Fiddler’s New Tune Challenge

Hi everybody,

I’m back with another New Tune Challenge!

I call this one The Christmas Star. It’s a waltz I wrote about 45 seconds before recording.

I had a seed of this tune as I was falling as falling asleep two or three nights ago. I was laying in bed and this melody popped into my head and it was kind of a really beautiful Irish-y Celtic tune, a Celtic waltz. And I thought I’ve got to write this down, or at least sing it into my phone before I fall asleep.

And then I fell asleep and I knew that there was a song there that I hadn’t accessed, but here’s what came back to me a couple days later.

I hope your holiday is Merry and Bright and I can’t wait to hear your take on The Christmas Star.

Merry Christmas & Happy Fiddling!
