I have Christmas songs on the brain. I was singing a few to myself on the way out the door from work, including Good King Wenceslas.

aefenglommong has written a piano arrangement of Good King Wenceslas. It's lovely, with lots of running notes. The most remarkable thing about it, though, is that he wrote it using music software. He placed the notes on the staff and then would use the program to play it back and listen so he could fix mistakes and fiddle with it until it was just right.
Then he sat down to play it on the piano, and had to practice almost a week before he could pull the whole thing off. With the assistance of the software,aefenglommong had managed to write a more complicated piece than he could easily play.
How often do such things happen, I wonder? And are there any really good music-writing programs out there these days?
