Description
As seen in the mind-boggling Trans-Siberian stage show! This thought-provoking medley of Christmas tunes describes a lone cellist playing Christmas carols in the midst of the Bosnian war. The piece reflects the power, drama, and hope of a single musician in the midst of war, reflecting on the power of music to bring hope. The rock rhythm section contributes to an intense and very hip musical experience. Perhaps include a field trip to see the band live with lights and effects.

When we played this for our orchestra class for our winter concert I was actually so glad I caught pneumonia a week before the concert so I got to miss it because as a newer viola player who was randomly somehow thrown into concert orchestra, for the love of god the song was so fast I couldn't play a single note so I was so glad I was sick and missed that concert 😂
