I found it rather generic and forgettable. If there was a theme, I don't remember identifying one.
I think I hear a temp track for Christmas Cup.


The main theme is there. An argument could be made that it is somewhat generic of a theme but it is certainly a theme and can be heard over most of the samples. I'm a little on the fence with the samples but it is quite nice especially the sample from Track 15.

Thank you to everyone who ordered during Black Friday, we know who you are and know who ordered. Edwin will be writing personalized booklets to each of you very soon. AND you'll all be in the running for some autographed sheet music to sell on eBay later, lol!

As a valid 30 plus year soundtrack nut, I have shockingly learned how to decipher a good theme from a 2- 4 note theme that I never remember which is sadly a lot of modern scores. I do not listen to generic music as I have a lot of GREAT music that I'd rather listen to so my time and ears are spent on quality music.

Lucky you.

I've just ordered it, but couldn't get onto the website at work yesterday (I think our filter's set too high) and got waylaid last night, so missed the deadline.

Such is life smile

Happy to say it arrived the other day and, although I’ve only had the chance to listen to it once, it’s like a breath of fresh air. Ideal holiday listening, melodic and festive. Not sure that the film’s up my street but I’m very glad I took the plunge on this. I did get the signed leaflet as well, which was good of Edwin given that I missed the deadline smile

Happy Christmas, guys

I just read Edwin this note and he wanted to say THANK YOU so much, means a lot. I'm glad others will now get the chance to enjoy this as I love this music so much and it helps get me into the mood. My favorite is the first 2 minutes of Nativity. I think it's just so darn moving and beautiful. Enjoy my friend smile

Just paid for my copy through Paypal.

What beautiful music! Loved the samples! Can't wait to get it!

Best Wishes and Love to you Peter and Edwin!

Enjoy the Holidays and have a wonderful Happy and Healthy New Year!

Best Regards,

Of course you'd say that. Guess you and I aren't hearing the same things.

It may not be so obvious from the samples, but of course there’s a theme - for those for whom themes are paramount. In my experience it’s the strongest new festive theme since Murray Gold’s Stowaway.

I have the advantage that I've been listening to this for the past several years so I know the main theme quite well. Keep listening, you'll remember it, trust us. I was that way on Rey's theme from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I just could not remember it, I knew there was one, but had the darnedest time. Glad folks are enjoying this so much. It really does warm my heart that others may make this one of their annual listens around Christmas like I do. smile

Happy Holidays to all! Edwin sends his very very best and is taken back by all the lovely notes on here.

The reviews are coming in for Edwin Wendler's Christmas with a Capital C soundtrack album!

...it is in the delicate flute solos and melodic writing that stands our here with some occasional electronic elements adding a contemporary flare..."

Hi Peter and Edwin,

Received mine today in the Letter Box and am sitting here now listening and enjoying it so much. It is really a touching and beautiful score Edwin! My sis and I watched the movie that I bought on ebay and your score worked so well in the movie. I really love your Main Theme and the choral version of it. Just wonderful! So excited that I received a signed booklet by you. A surprise as I wasn't expecting one, ordering after the special offer date. Thanks so much!

Edwin and Peter wishing you both a Wonderful, Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year!

God Bless and thank you both again so much for your wonderful gifts!

As I type, your gorgeous music is playing and I am truly touched by it's gentleness, beauty and warmth! Thank you! The always superb City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra truly honors you in their wonderful performance of your music!

Best Regards,

Zooba

Zooba,

Thanks so so so much! Edwin said that was very sweet. I'm glad others are starting to get to enjoy this. Nativity is one of the most beautiful and emotional pieces I've heard in all my years of listening to soundtracks. I love how Edwin has a little beat behind it and the use of mens chorale is so darn moving. Sending you a hug Zooba and glad this will become a staple in your Christmas score listening fun in the future smile

Also for others, EVERYONE gets a signed booklet no matter when you order! smile

Loved the samples and decided to jump in and buy. Good work to you and Edwin!

Well, I didn't give in to this last year, but I just had to add it to my Christmas music carousel this year. It's all because of dmd going on and on (wink) about Rocket Gibraltar - felt I should add this too, to support both of you. And it'll be here in time to listen all season long!

The first time I listened to this I really didn't know who Edwin was and listened to it. When I got to track 7 "Nativity" I don't know why, but it's one of those tracks that I CAN NOT listen to without crying. It makes me think of life, where I am, where I've been and all of that nostalgia stuff and just brings the tears to me. I have not seen the film, not interested, but glad the music is on some folks Christmas themed playlist. The song "Joyful Hope" is another one that make me weep. The ending of it and then the last few notes on piano, just too much. One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. So heartfelt. What's funny and I KID YOU NOT! I was just playing JoyFul Hope about 1 minute before seeing this post, that's crazy.

This is another one of those scores that folks don't know or don't know the composer, but the score is SOLID, a great album all around! Hugs my friend. I'll let Edwin know he'll be so moved. As a soundtrack fan like so many of us, I would hope that if I'm going on and on about a score, then I would hope others like you would say, "okay, this must at least be worth a few moments to listen to samples or learn more about it." I like to pride myself in that I don't listen to crap. smile
