Hunting for "Deck the Hall" version - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Redlemon · 11-19-2010, 07:32 AM

I admit that I'm reposting this, but it appears that no one looks in the "Master What Song Is This" thread anymore.

I need to locate a version of a Christmas song. It is popular enough to get airplay during the Christmas season. It is an instrumental version of "Deck the Hall"*, and sounds like it might be Moog-based. Certainly synthesizer.

There are two things about this version which I can point to in order to narrow it down:

(1) There are long holds between each line of the song. As I said, it is instrumental, but if there were words, it would go

Quote:

(1)Deck the (2)hall with (3)boughs of (1)holly (1, 2, 3, 4)
(1)Fa la la la (2)la, la (3)la la (4)la (1, 2, 3, 4)

(2) The second-to-last-"la" is flatted (lowered by a half step). I italicized it in the example above.

Can anyone help me?

It's not Chip Davis - Mannheim Steamroller version is it? Sounds like it might be.

Definately, Mannheim. I like it, too. It will be everywhere in a couple of weeks.

Yes, Mannheim is correct. Which is strange, because I swear I searched for Mannheim last time I looked for this piece, and couldn't find it. Thanks Tirian!
