Free Music Notes for Christmas Eve and Other Stories
Free Music Review: Kyrie among nations
Hit: 5 Stars
In an unending sea of unique Christmas music, there is perhaps none more unique than this.
CHRISTMAS EVE AND OTHER STORIES is in all a gentle children's choir concert, a religious story, a family story, an instrumental Christmas montage, an elaborate rock 'n' roll opera, and finally a cry for God's mercy among our nations. Trans-Siberian Orchestra probably did not know that they were going to end up making music history with hit titles like "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" (a hard rock instrumental rendition of "Carol of the Bells") or "A Mad Russian's Christmas" (a similar treatment of "The Nutcracker Suite") or nationwide sold-out concert performances.
There is something in this CD for everyone. If you like Gospel ("The Prince of Peace"), acoustic guitar ("The Silent Nutcracker"), hard rock ("Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24"), Contemporary Christian ("An Angel Returned"), folk ("Old City Bar"), or soft instrumental and children's choirs ("Promises to Keep"), you will find it here. If you don't like one or more of the aforementioned genres of music, then those contained in this CD will probably grow on you anyway (as they did with me).
I love Christmas music very much, and I love all kinds. I particularly enjoy Mannheim Steamroller and the big band crooners of the 1940s and 1950s. But CHRISTMAS EVE AND OTHER STORIES easily earns a place among my top favorites.
Christmas Eve and Other Stories Poster
Is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve and Other Stories a holiday rock opera? Or perhaps just a holiday prog-rock disc? Or maybe it's New Age? Whatever the case may be, this isn't your typical Christmas album. Filled with electric guitar solos, plenty of synthesized keyboards, a children's choir, and lively drumming, Christmas Eve can only be compared to one other record, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other holiday disc, The Christmas Attic. On this CD, angelic vocal solos (on numbers such as "The Prince of Peace") are interspersed with driving instrumentals. Sentimental, occasionally bombastic, but as high-concept as holiday albums can be. --Jason VerlindePop Music CDs
