SK's latest piano recording and the PT recital

[ShiroKuro]

The PT recital is live, with 20 submissions!

Here's my contribution, the one that triggered my complaints about the audio of my new phone.

Here's my description of the piece:
This is my “original” arrangement of the Carol of the Bells. Years ago, I wanted an arrangement of this song that had all the parts I liked that I'd heard in different people's arrangements. But no single arrangement I found had all the parts I wanted in the same score. So I took an arrangement by Margaret Goldston, which I think is pretty close to the original by Mykola Leontovych, and then I took an arrangement by post-classical pianist Michele McLaughlin, and smooshed those together to make this arrangement.

I actually did the arrangement years ago, in a very analog way. I literally printed out multiple copies of each score and cut them up and glued them onto a sheet of paper and then hand-wrote in various additions and adjustments. The crazy thing is, McLaughlin's score is written in 6/8 time, and Goldston's score is written in 3/4 time, and I go back and forth between the two versions multiple times, so the score just looks like spit up. I call it my Frankenscore. (I believe I've shared another arrangement I did like this, of Pachelbel's Canon, that arrangement also resulted in a Frankenscore).

The other detail I wanted to share is that (as most of you know) I've been sick and wasn't able to practice consistently, so this recording is very much a "warts and all" practice recording (with apologies for making excuses).
