Wood of Thorns and Roses is my main Christmas Trance release for 2025. Based on the traditional German carol, Maria durch ein Dornwald ging. This was suggested by YouTuber Leo Brennauer when I was asking for ideas for unusual Christmas carols earlier this year. It is not a “cheery” carol as such and my version is perhaps a bit more dramatic than festive but I loved the melody, unusual length, and the idea of using a tune I had never heard of.

The title “Wood of Thorns and Roses” comes from the lyrics of Maria durch ein Dornwald ging. Here is an AI English translation:

Mary walked through a wood of thorns, Kyrie eleison. Mary walked through a wood of thorns, which for seven years had borne no leaves. Jesus and Mary.

What did Mary bear beneath her heart? Kyrie eleison. A little child without pain, that is what Mary bore beneath her heart. Jesus and Mary.

Then the thorns bore roses, Kyrie eleison. As the child was carried through the wood, the thorns bore roses. Jesus and Mary

Fallen moon is the second of my space exploration themed “story trance” collection featuring a rolling narrative, following the track “60 Days“. This is a shorter track to my usual but still features my usual aural combination of piano melodies, choral harmonies and atmosphere. I hope it manages to transport you somewhere when you listen. I’d love to hear from you and get your feedback about this track. Let me know if you like it, don’t like it, or where you listened to it and what you were doing.

A shorter version of my track 60 Days, with a few extra bits of automation and sound changes, especially in the bass. It is still 4:28 long so a little lengthy for a radio edit – I just want to include everything.

The release on SoundCloud will also have downloads enabled for 7 days, so get it for free quickly.
