Pony Christmas Carol Project

[Overkillius]

The point of this project is to come up with ideas of carols to record and to record them! It might even become a nifty little album if enough of you come up with some ideas for carols!

The point of this thread could be a lot of things. Basically it is for anything and everything the doc doesn't cover.

Everything should be on this doc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10iD ... dit?hl=en_

Explanation: This will end up being a large scale collaboration involving people making carols, requesting that certain carols be ponified, actually ponifying carols, and of course SINGING THE CAROLS! I won’t be nitpicking about good vocals, everypony is welcome to try their hoof at singing for this project! The purpose of this doc is to hold all the information for all the parts of this project: Lyrics, Vocal Guide Tracks, MIDIs, etc. Feel free to change fonts or organize stuff or whatever to make the doc look more orderly and appealing.

Either request permission to edit in the doc, or in this thread via posting your e-mail. If you request and I have little way of knowing who you actually are (ex: you request in the doc and your email is [email protected]), I don't know who you are, or I just don't trust you to not g spam everything, then I will probably ignore requests to edit the doc (you never know unless you try). That said EVERYONE is invited to take part in the project as a whole. I just don't want this doc to become the next fanfic archive about wrapping it in the best wrapping paper.

I want in on this. I've been looking for an excuse to record my voice! Plus I love carols and choral music

[MiuMiuChuu]

Count me in!

[PinkieGuy]

I am excited by this. I'll definately get involved.

EDIT: I'd be willing to try my hand at penning a carol.

[LunchBagMusic]

This sounds like a good idea. Count me in for anything.

Actually, the more I think about this, the more excited I get. THIS WILL HAPPEN.

[d.notive]

I'd be delighted to contribute.

[PhillyPu]

Hope my voice is good enough for this. I'm in!

[Interrobang Pie]

We should just do An MLR Christmas Carol. I'll be Scrooge. Barr humbug.

[Rainbowdutch]

I will use all of my everything to help you with this

Hey, here's a question:

Were you hoping for just christmas carols, or any sort of christmas song in general for this album?

Also, here's another thought. If this does evolve into a big collab project, why not toss it up on bandcamp or something, and donate any monies obtained from it to a charity of the community's choosing, or something equally of the holiday spirit?

Santa pony, I've really been an awfully good mare...

No, but seriously, I've had the idea to make "Last Christmas" into a pony themed tune somehow and (while I'm definitely strapped for an idea as to how) it would be fun to know if that's okay. :s

EDIT: On second thought that's a terrible idea.

On third thought that's an amazing idea.

Actually, I was planning on doing carols, and if people were interested in making other carols happen besides the diddle I'm working on, then it could become an album! If there were a Christmas album event going on, I don't think I should be the person to run it, unless it all happened to be carols anyway! If everyone agrees to sing on the song I'm still working on (lyrics... lotsa lyrics) then I'll be happy, and if anyone else proposed we did some other carol I'd be willing to sing for that as well as I'm sure a lot of other people would be. I'd also be willing to make guide tracks and whatnot to help everypony sing other carols others wanted to do as well! or arranging and anything else of that nature.

tl;dr this paragraph: I wasn't really planning on an album, but if enough people wanted their own carols to be done, it would make a really cool album!

I think the Idea of making a Christmas album from MLR and giving donations to charity is a great idea... the only problem I really have with that is there are two other MLR album projects going on, and I could see too many of these at once making none of them happen.

If people DO want to do a Christmas album, should I just turn this thread into that? or should a new thread be made? Because Pony Christmas Carol DOES sound like an awesome name for a brony Christmas album.
