A baby boy was born one day 
In a stable far away
He nestled in a manger bed
On straw he laid his tiny head

(Chorus)It's Christmas day all over earth let the bells ring out for Jesus' birth

The shepherds came from near and far 
guided by a lonely star
The Wise men travelled night and day 
To Bethlehem where Jesus lay

They looked upon that infant face
Saviour for the human race
So every year on Christmas Day
We'll thank dear God in our own way

David Christmas is a freelance composer of all genres of music.  Only a small selection of my talents in writing for musical theatre is to be heard here on this profile.
Except for the last (a very mock recording for something completely different) these were all recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 2010 for a concept CD to promote a new musical destined for the West End. Abbey Road provided free recording time and their incomparable expertise for my music, but the musical’s theme was such to be an insult to the public’s taste that I removed it immediately to save me from embarrassment.
All music was written by myself, David Christmas, but the accompanying lyrics are not my work and for that reason this music remains mine.
Please get in touch if you wish to use this music or any other music that was written for the musical.  There is a full musical worth of scores written over 3 years just existing through existence. Of course, it’s available for use in its entirety or parts thereof but not all the material has been orchestrated.  Lyricists are free to re-write the whole libretto or parts thereof and adaptations to melody and rhythm remain at the discretion of the composer but open to change, but essentially remaining as my copyright.

David began his career as a teacher of modern languages for eight years.  His musical education extended to only an A level in music and grade 8 in piano and theory.  His passion for music had to remain a separate activity.  Fortunately, his piano skills had been heard by the proprietor of a West End restaurant and he immediately became their resident pianist for 6 years, while still working in education. 
A need to change career path was on the horizon and this happened when a West End theatre producer prompted him to try to write a few melodies around some lyrics taken from a script for a new musical.  So began a 3 year journey of musical development that saw my song writing and orchestral writing skills pushed to their limits.  Meanwhile, a demo of 8 recordings from the early stages of writing (sampled here) was sent to EMI, who listened to them and liked them!  EMI offered to record the much needed concept CD to promote the musical at their own considerable expense, at Abbey Road Studios.  The subject matter of the script was a little controversial.  The composer should like to acknowledge that the sound recordings were the property of EMI but are now outside of any contractual binding with the producers of the musical.  The music can be re-recorded with the composer's consent.  All intellectual property is that of the composer.  The 'Abbey' recording days were during the Summer of 2010 and saw the voluntary offerings of a full orchestra and singers/actors from the world of stage and TV.  I should like to acknowledge their vocal input to these recordings, and I can provide any interested party with their names, that I cannot list here.  Two of the tracks, 'Anthem' and 'Bridie's Song' were performed by the cast of the musical at West End Live 2010 in Leicester Square, during the Summer of that year and in front of a few thousand spectators. You can view the odd live performance recordings of these songs on YouTube! Just hit its search engine! 

David is essentially a ballad writer but can turn his hand to all styles. His thirst is for melody and creative chord developments, believing that to be a good tune, it needs to have a memorable melodic line or riff. He can work in collaboration with song writers and has recently worked on the soundtrack to a historical documentary and collaborates with producers of engineered music for creating those catchy little riffs in club music. David can also offer song writing and piano lessons to any interested party.  He is available for all writing requirements; samples can be heard from his other catalogue of work upon request.  I am also keen to work with
lyricists, songwriters and engineers requiring melodic, chordal or structural input.

I am a Home recording artist, born in 1946, Songs on here can be purchased from, www.amazingtunes.com/oldroboman.  I started to write after I retired in 2006 and record on my computer. I write all the music and play all the instruments you can hear (some badly!)  I use a Miditech Audiolink II, interface to connect the instruments and Mics to the PC. to date I have written over 400 songs. I also post stuff on the Amazing Tunes website, but that isn't very fruitful lately as they seem to promote only people with labels these days. I did manage to get into their chart when they started at No8, for a week, and also they played my Christmas song on the Digital Radio in the UK. last year, but nothing since. I seem to get a lot more plays on here, so I hope those who do play my stuff at least like it, but then we all have different tastes and I am not expecting to be a millionaire any time soon. but Thank you all for listening its all I ask. I started in music when I was 18 in Sunny Aden, in 1964  in a group with some Army guys called 'The Shameless Five' that lasted the 2 years of my tour then, on returning to the UK I picked up another group, 'The Purple Faize' yeah, famous, I know! I then had  break from groups for about 40 years until now.

Sound's ability to change moods, position as sacred in ancient cultures, and streamlining translation from the spiritual realm as technology advances, are some of the more influential thought forms designing the sound of Steve Christmas.  First discovering electronica in pure creative form through Industrial programming via college radio in Seaton Hall, NJ circa 1996; his introduction was dark & ethereal. Underworld made it's way into the programming and Steve was drawn to a deeper and less distorted-metal influence & the sonic visualizations created by the giants of electronic composition. 

Less than 18 at the time, this radio portal into non-commercial electronic-oriented broadcasts led him to soon discover Solid State Radio, hosted 2 hours weekly by Liquid Todd out of New York's K-Rock studio & it covered a broad spectrum from David Holmes' pioneering acid-jazz, to Apollo 440, The Chemical Brothers & many other diverse mid-90's trail blazers into current genres. Exposure to NY techno such as Frankie Bones & breakbeat by DJ DB burned their way into his soul's database, as did the TB-303 so well executed by Hardfloor in that time.

A relocation to the Detroit, MI area in 1999 found Christmas 21 & venturing to venues such as the Shelter, Motor Lounge, Oslo, and of course many warehouse & DEMF experiences over the next 6 years.  Having minimal DJ experience in New Jersey, Christmas found Analogic Records in Ann Arbor, MI & began work selling & renting studio equipment, vinyl, & PA gear, setting up local shows & eventually DJ-ing regularly in many local nightclubs, & private parties at the burgeoning edge of minimal & tech house from the scene that gave us Matthew Dear, Dabrye, Ghostly International & Ectomorph.  During this time, Steve also maintained residencies in nearby Windsor, Ontario which opened his eyes to how a different culture's variance can bring new energies into it's parties.  These years more than any gave focus, expansion & direction to his career cementing a passion for the love & connection such events would generate.

In 2005 Steve moved again to Las Vegas, NV where he currently resides.   Finding a good bit of a local Las Vegas underground vibe in venues like ICE and Empire Ballroom in '05.  In 2006 Las Vegas seemed to trade it's eclectic culture in electronica for more mainstream mash-ups as a safe bet in a down economy & most surviving clubs moved onto casino property in a more corporate culture of operations.  At this point Steve stepped back, slowed down and began using more of his time designing & building out a studio space from which to operate rather than Dj-ing.  These last few years also produced a lot of personal introspection & spiritual development that would later resonate in his work. 

In 2009 a good friend refused to let him remain so inactively involved in music & convinced Steve to send a media kit to Winter Music Conference.  He was chosen to perform as a showcased artist at Conference that year, & this energy re-sparked his momentum. Upon returning to Las Vegas, Steve began actively searching out the artists & DJ's who were locally committed to a more underground sound & would occasionally involve himself in performing & co-producing events with this select group; a weekend long showcase headlining The Crystal Method at the House of Blues being one of the more memorable.  Reconnections with friends from this inner circle of talent who had moved away to more techno-centric cities such as Miami, plugged Steve in with the camp at Creator Entertainment who booked his closing for Infected Mushroom in Las Vegas & recognized and broadcast his sound across the globe & continue to move his talent into crowds eager for an evolving, selective tech-house flavor. 

It has become a bit of an annual tradition that I write a christmas song and turn it into a musical christmas card for people to send to loved ones over the festive period!

Here are the last few years' offerings for your listening pleasure...

If you want to buy any cards (which include a cd copy of the song)...cards are priced at £3 each or 4 for £10 (plus p+p). You can see a mini version of the card design next to each of the tracks.
