      <description><![CDATA[<p>After a ten-year break, I’ve started writing music again. The new piece is called <a href="https://bencrowder.net/music/one-quiet-night/">“One Quiet Night”</a> and is a song about Christ that I wrote for a family Christmas party (I played piano, my wife played viola, and two of my wife’s siblings sang). At some point I’m hoping to record it, but until then, the sheet music will have to do. (It’s available in PDF, and the MusicXML is also available.)</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20One Quiet Night">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
