You make it all sound so easy...

and so very beautiful.
It's a privilege to work with you on this CD, Tom. I'm glad you had a
chance to create your very own work, at last, for it.
The simplicity and serenity of this is lovely--and exactly what I needed to
listen to right now.
Thanks for this.

We're sure atwood1956 appreciates those kind words, Mysti, but we here in
corporate are concerned about the hours you are keeping. Perhaps you have
forgotten the terms of the contract you signed. The sleep provisions
contained therein? This is the time of year when we can hardly afford to be
handing out "sick days." (The phrase itself makes us queasy.) Remember,
proper rest, regular vocal exercises, and on time for class (US Music Industry
History 2, M-W-Th-F at 8 am).

I want to let you all know how much I appreciate you exposing us (at least
me) to holiday music that is out of the norm... even though it may be
more traditional. It's been a pleasure listening to all of the different
songs, even if I haven't been able to comment on each. Your hard work
and dedication to the "Project" is commendable and appreciated.

Thanks AC. I appreciate that. Mysti and I (and mando, rebs, curry,
midiorleans) are trying to do something different, and it
has been fun so far. Thanks again!

Beautiful, soft music that makes me want to cradle a baby to sleep. Nice
melding of themes to make something unique.

We are working out the details of the CD distribution, Peter. We are hoping it
will be available Dec 1 or shortly thereafter. I like the signature link to your
CD (on your comments). Looks like yours is here?

Sounds great, Tom.

Well-constructed and well-executed. Very atmospheric and rich in
beauty.
I once did an arrangement of both of those tunes myself, back in the
early 80s, when I directed the choir at the Lutheran campus chapel at
Ball State University. Your piece takes me back! It was for piano and
oboe.
I like the mildy symphonic ending, with the cymbal swell.

Sounds great, Tom.

Thanks John. Glad I could take you back. I would like to hear that piano/wind
version you arranged at Ball State. As for the ending, my son (16) said lose it,
but I really like the ending. It's my favorite part. Makes me feel young, like
listening to a Christmas album from the 60s. Thanks for mentioning it.

Congratulations Wm. You have now tied for the shortest comment title ever
received by the Noel Project. Although we did have a "." once, which I guess
technically is shorter than "!" (Or is it? Hmm, this may require another late-
night discussion in the Project library. You and Rebsie, of course, will be
expected to attend.)
Anyway, thanks for listening, and for helping us with the CD. Mysti and I
really appreciate it.

Quiet, gentle tone at night.
The ensemble is wonderful.
