Abstract
As a musician who has directed several Christmas carol events over the years, I have identified a need for holiday songs that accurately depict the Summer Christmas experience. Due to the globalisation of media, much of the Christmas content we consume comes from America and Europe which use heavy Winter imagery and feature traditions that don’t make sense in an Australian context. For this project, I aim to write and produce 3-4 original Summer-theme Christmas songs for the primary use of being played at live Christmas events such as school productions, Carols by Candlelight and church services. At this point in project development, I have recorded rough demos for four original songs:
Christmas in the Summertime: An upbeat and humorous Christmas anthem that depicts the authentic Aussie Christmas experience.
It Must Be Christmas: An upbeat but tender song, featuring Summer imagery and a gratitude for Christmas.
Good To Me: A cute, romantic song about lovers who fell in love at Christmas in Summer.
What A Name (Here With Us): A song to be played during church services with heavy Christian themes about Jesus coming to earth and living among us.
