#60: Tones: An Evening on Christmas Eve II: A Little Fall of Snow?

Say that I am narcissistic or syok sendiri. It's just me playing a collection of Christmas songs, in my own home.

You are (not-very) welcomed to attend (and sit in the open air and listen from the outside of the house).

But anyway, this is roughly the program of that evening.

The performance of the evening begins with three slow-paced and soft tunes acting as the overture for the whole recital to welcome the dusk of Christmas Eve.
