I am Mr D Camp. My hobby is composing and arranging tunes using music software. Ever since I could listen to music, I always wished I could re-arrange it. I did not have a group of musicians. Now in the computer age with music software I am able to listen to what I hear in my head. The 178th street chamber orchestra is my fictitious group of virtual musicians who sometimes collaborate with other fictitious groups such as the Bathgate Avenue Boys Choir or the Beneath-the-Expressway Rhythm Kings. I compose original tunes. I re-arrange existing tunes. I try to keep these as short as possible. Two minutes is an epic. Some are easy listening. Some are experimental. I do this for my personal enjoyment but I hope you enjoy too. Thank you.Band/artist history
Since April 6, 2019.Your musical influences
My musical influences are early 60s top 40, Motown, the Beatles, Jazz, Baroque and Latin.The Beatles wrote many songs for other artists. Listen to the 1979 compilation album The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away.One weekend I was entertaining my granddaughter by playing songs from Disney princess movies via Youtube on my phone. Stumbled on this one. Glad I did. I didn't mess with it much except for the duet at the end.O Little Town Of Bethlehem has interesting structure and harmony. First verse is out of the hymn book. 2nd is my variations and 3rd is 64 quarter notes chords.All comments (4)

Section in middle doesn't belong. I remember it from when I was a kid but I don't remember where it's from. But I think it works.
