Program for "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Sir Paul McCartney

Post by WannitBBBad »

Hello everyone, below is my program for "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Sir Paul McCartney and Wings from 1979 for any of you wanting to play it for audiences this Christmas season. I put it together quickly so it might need some tweaking to your taste. I currently have it set up with long sustaining strings on Layer Scene I and shorter sustaining strings for runs on Layer Scene II. For the mp3 example, I use the HOLD on the strings for Synth B in the intro. As suggested by Marc (My Keys To Music) in the video below, I morphed the delay timing; it's set up on the Mod Wheel but can be moved to the Control Pedal if you prefer. Take care

Paul McCartney is estimated to have made $15million since the release of that song.
Yamaha sold ~2000 (max) CS-80 at $6900 each (one site says 800 units, another says 2000)...

Who is laughing now?

Yes, not bad at all! When "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Sir Paul McCartney and Wings came out in 1979, I thought the keyboard part was a little cheesy. I was 22, into Yes, ELP, and anything progressive. Over the years that keyboard part has become an endearing part of one of my favorite Christmas classics. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Nord User Forum Members. To those of you not of my faith, Happy Holidays to you with the peace and goodwill this wonderful time of year is intended. Take care
