First classical piece I hear here on Newgrounds and I already like the overall vibe it gives me. I like the introduction of strings, hi-hats beginning at 00:29 that gradually introduce the main theme evolving around the main notes at the beginning. The initial part (the first 28 seconds) gives me the vibe of a Disney movie introducing a snow-covered forest, whose animals slowly approach things while remaining alert. The staccato (or staccato-like) notes heard in the first part of the musical piece give the impression of quick steps or a faster, more fluent rhythm and give development to the narrative rhythm of the composition.
Even looking at the song's graph I noticed two pauses that introduce the other two chapters (01:00-01:17 and 01:52-01:59 approximately). They seem like two interesting breaks that allow the listener to assimilate what was heard in the previous chapter. I call them chapters but they are still parts of a continuous and dynamic unicum. It's just my mental way of dividing the song better. Unlike other songs of yours where the orchestral element acts as an enrichment in the musical structure, here the orchestra is the main protagonist compared to the video game elements that characterize your musical trait. Honestly I like this, even if the drums are not very powerful as in other musical pieces (I can hear the hi-hats better), having a variation in terms of genre does not hurt and allows you to explore things that perhaps are used marginally.
The visual imagery is highly melodic, enchanted, almost fairy-like, at times even solemn in certain points (the staccato or similar staccato at 31 seconds, the second pause at 01:37 for example). Throughout the song there is a mix of calm, enchantment, relaxation and curiosity (especially at the beginning). I also like the birds in the background that echo throughout the forest. This is a personal taste of mine but maybe a legato or more legato-like style in the second part of the song would have made it even more fluid, dynamic and smooth. Around 02:21 I certainly hear the strings getting very close to what is a legato and that part (one of my favourite of the composition) gives a very contemplative vibe since Christmas period is not just (and shouldn't be) about presents, but about company, reflection on past actions and attempt to improve as persons.
Another part that I love is the one around 01:37 (the descending string line), it's very calming, melodic and contemplative. It gives the solemn vibe this song develops in the second half of its structure, at least imho. The song fits very nicely the spirit of the period and as I mentioned above it gives me the vibe of a snow-covered forest whose animals interact with each other in an enchanted environment where magical creatures make sure everyone is serene and happy.
Nice job, I really enjoyed it!
