NOTE: I don’t know why the video turned upside down! A bug in 3Speak???
I love creating my own music but it’s also interesting to study classical pieces and give them a modern synthy twist as it were.
I’ve always loved Troika and whilst I don’t believe it was originally composed to be a piece of festive music, the sleigh bells have given it that flavour.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer also famously used a section of this famous classic in their great song, “I believe in Father Christmas” another favourite of mine.
This is a short version because I could only find a brief score in MIDI format that I set up in Cubasis, chose the instrumentation I felt fits best. That was that.
I hope to find the fuller score somewhere but shall leave that to another time.
I will do more of these and study some more music. If you want to explore some MIDI yourself, have a look at:

I have just noticed that there is a link to the full MIDI file there! If it’s free, I’ll download it and extend this track.
