Spreading holiday cheer with The Nutcracker Suite EP

The Nutcracker Suite by matthurst

A synth inspired tribute to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s ballet

Continuing my journey with re-imagining music in the public domain, this holiday season I’ve recorded my own synth-inspired tribute to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker”. This story and music always take me back to my childhood, dreaming of holiday magic and imaginative adventures, so it seems fitting to record my own cover versions in the chiptune style that was the soundscape of my youth (with more than a few gifts under the Xmas tree).

And just as with my previous release of the “1923 EP“, I’m releasing the following new songs into Creative Commons licensing so that others can remix, reuse, and adapt the recordings into something new”
Waltz of the Flowers
Dance of the Reed Flutes
March of the Toy Soldiers (aka The Nutcracker March)

I hope you’ll give my remixes a spin and share them anytime you want to celebrate – please consider it my gift to you this holiday season!
