One lovely evening during the holiday season, we were enjoying the Christmas tree lights and decorations in our home. On this night, we also had the "angel chimes" going. For those of you who aren't familiar with this gadget, there are 4 small candles that when lit, make 4 dangling angel figures spin around and strike a couple of tiny affixed bells. The soft, rhythmic tinkling sound inspired me to sit down at the piano and "play along" and thus the "Angel Chime Song" was born.

As I've worked over the past several weeks to orchestrate this piece with garageband, it inevitably got a lot bigger feeling than could be accounted for by the little chimes (ok, ok - a LOT bigger). It started feeling more like a big gathering of angels, so the new name is "Angel Convention". But hopefully you can still hear the influence of the original tiny angels spinning around.

Special thanks to Drakonis for his review of the "almost finished" project, with lots of input that made it significantly better.
