Hello all, I have been kicking around an idea for awhile and was hoping to get some opinions/ideas/suggestions.
I am considering running a countrywide contest to write a new Christmas Carol. I think if I could get enough people interested and generate enough buzz, there is a chance that the winning carol or even some others may make it into the standard Christmas carol repertoire. Maybe too lofty a goal, I dont know.
I have also considered doing the same thing for new Hymns.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi patchymarie, so glad you like the idea!
Do you write music too? Lyrics? What is your instrument/instruments? I write music but I'm not so good at lyrics... to put it generously.

patchymarie, I can't seem to reply to your post "CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND ART" in the directory section.
So I'll reply here: WOW! RIGHT ON! You have an absolutely beautiful voice! I love your rendition of Amazing Grace! Just fantastic.
If I do get this idea going, maybe you'd be willing to put down some vocal tracks for me... 
Great work!

I commissioned the writing of a new christmas choral piece about 12 years ago. "Unto Us" and it came out really great.

Cool. Are you a conductor? Band leader?

However, this was for a larger community choir where I was just another bass singer.

I don't think it would have to be Christian themed carols exclusively.
