After not being able to put Nedeleg Laouen through for much use last year, I was approached by TurkeyOnaStick, who asked if I was up for writing a track for this year's Christmas/Holiday Art Worm.

This is the result.

It's called 'In Anticipation' because there is a lot of eagerness to this song — the kind of waiting that will lead to great joy. (And it's also Advent, which for Christians is the season of preparation leading up to Christmas and the second coming of Christ — and I anticipate both very much.)

Inspiration was drawn from Joy to the World, Adeste Fideles / O Come All Ye Faithful, and the various wintry video game themes I have come across over the years.
