Snowfall - Claude Thornhill big band & modern Play4Sofa version

[Bruce Breen]

Here is an audio recording I did of Claude Thornhill's song called Snowfall. I used the Dreamy Ballad style.

It was written by him and his wife Ruth, for his big band back in 1941.
Since then there have been various versions of it, in different styles.
The most notable ones are:
Michael Nesmith with the Monkees in 1967. It had a bit of a country feel to it.
Emily Reimer did a jazz version in 1988.
The Manhattan Transfer did it in 1991 - obviously it was all vocals.

And here is a link for my 'modern' instrumental version using Play4Sofa style: https://app.box.com/s/kwl2mdh38mx2xt7i70r6iqzfjixdu92l

Hi Everyone,
I also did an instrumental only version of this song using the style Play4Sofa (in the Ballad section).
There aren't many songs that I play which can use these more modern styles, but this one sounds really nice.

Stunningly beautiful, Bruce.  Your performance evokes visions of quiet moments by the fire as the flakes gently caress the world.

Thanks Richard!
That style sure sets a wonderful mood - I felt very relaxed even when recording it!

[Toril S]

Yes, that Play4Sofa version was truly beautiful! See how creative we can be with our keyboards. No wonder we love to play them and create all kinds of sounds and music!

[Bruce Breen]

Right on, Toril!
I usually have 3 or 4 settings for most songs I play...and I just select whatever setting suits me for that day.
