My - somewhat dark - rendition of 'Silent Night' for the Holiday Contest.

Story behind the song
*Many thanks to those who bother to enter comments. That's much appreciated*
... well I choose to put some dark mood in my rendition.
From a musical perspective it is merely a small thing just dealing with my limited tools and skills.
I played "Silent Night" theme on tenor and then just copy&paste (which is one of my major talent) + rework some layers from previous material I have. The overall idea was to put drama. I wish I played the main theme better (had problems with the mic so I am kind of stuck with this one for the moment). Plus I recorded a tenor sax solo as well. The short sop sax section is indeed an edited material. I didn't want to play extended sax solo - there are enough brilliant sax in this world that I can't compete with and I wanted the tune to be focused and atmospheric.
Hope you'll like it.
[update 20/11] Did some tweaking in the mix ...
