What would happen if members of Savatage decided to write some Christmas songs? Easy: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This "supergroup" is the brainchild of Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neill (respectively the leader-keyboardist and the producer of Savatage). They hired Al Pitrelli (Asia, Savatage) to play guitars, Robert Kinkel to help with keyboards, John Middleton (also a member of Savatage) on bass, and Jeff Plate on drums. Lead vocals are shared by six vocalists, while some of the backing vocals are handled by Savatage lead singer Zachary Stevens. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is a concept album: all the songs are built as chapters of a book, each telling part of a larger story. The plot here is of a young angel sent down to Earth to find and bring back to the Lord "the one thing that best represents everything good that has been done in the name of this day." The angel's quest takes him all over the world, through Russia and Sarajevo, until he finally hears the prayer of a father. This last piece is the strongest moment on the album and makes for a miniature story within the larger story. It is basically told in a trilogy of songs: in the first, "Ornament," we hear the father's prayer, explaining ...

Cançons i Danses, 1 - 4Música Callada, Cuaderno 4 (nos. 22 - 28)Frederic Mompou (1893 - 1987)Mompou is a composer who can't be fit into any neat category. He created his own, very personal sonic universe, which he gradually developed and refined, ignoring the various schools and techniques which formed the "main stream" of classical music over the period of his long life. I think he can best be compared to the painter Marc Chagall, of whom Picasso once said, "I don't know where he gets his ideas. An angel must sit on his shoulder." Mompou himself said, "Music is the written that can't be expressed. I wish that it should seem to come out of the shadows, so to return to the shadows again."Mompou wrote a total of 15 pieces entitled Canço i Dansa (Catalan spelling, meaning "song and dance") between the years 1918 and 1962, almost his entire life as a composer. These are based mostly on popular Catalan songs, each coupled with a dance, and set in a deceptively simple, but actually very sophisticated harmonic palette. Música Callada was another series written over a period of many years, appearing in four volumes (cuadernos) between 1959 and 1967. The title, which means "music without sound," comes from the Cántico Espiritual of St. John of the Cross. As Mompou wrote, "It is very difficult to translate and explain the true sense of "Musica Callada" in a language other than Spanish. The great mystic poet, St. John of the Cross, sings in one of his beautiful poems: "La musica callada, la soledad sonora" seeking to express the idea of a music which is the voice of silence itself; music keeping its own voice 'callada' - that is to say, being silent while solitude itself becomes music."Danzas Gitanes, opus 55Joaquin Turina (1882-1949)Turina was a friend and younger contemporary of Manuel de Falla, and spent several years in Paris with Falla, studying and partaking of the vibrant musical life there. He was a prolific composer, especially for piano, and was well known in his lifetime as a virtuoso pianist. He is considered, along with de Falla, Albeniz and Granados, one of the major quintessentially Spanish composers.In this, the first of two sets of "gypsy dances" Turina wrote, he evokes the gypsy culture of Granada: the zambra, a fiesta filled with music and dance; the mutual seduction of two young gypsies; a stylized religious ritual; Generalife, the lovely summer palace on a hill outside Granada, filled with fountains; and Sacro-monte, the area where the gypsies lived. Danzas Españolas, opus 5, nos. 1-6, 10, 12 Enrique Granados (1867-1916)Granados was an extraordinary virtuoso pianist, and a composer of considerable subtlety, who created many unique expressive effects for the piano. He is often described along with Albeniz as the creator ...
