Imagine the quiet, the anticipation, the tree, and all the lights as Christmas Eve becomes Christmas, and you will have the feel of this beautiful rock ballad, Midnight Christmas Eve. As seen in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra stage show The Christmas Attic, this lyric piece, arranged by Bob Phillips, will add depth to any holiday or winter concert. Though an easy piece for high school orchestras, the optional electric violin and guitar parts provide the perfect chance to feature an electric instrument and a more advanced player. If you haven't seen TSO, check it out online and then share this one with your students. Perhaps include a field trip to see the band live with lights and effects. Listen to the original recordings of TSO to decide which distortion effects to use with the electric violin or electric guitar. This is a great listening exercise for the kids.

King Leontes' jealous rage results in the death of his loyal wife Hermione days after she has given birth. Leontes orders for the baby to be killed, but many years later, truth surfaces as a crocus at the first sign of thaw. Ryan Wigglesworth's first opera is a luminous, persuasive retelling of William Shakespeare's The Winters Tale. His natural sense for dramatic narrative brings clarity to this tragedy-turned-romance, its brooding opening act unfolding gradually into a light-hearted scherzo. Written as the culmination of Wigglesworths tenure as Artist in Residence with English National Opera, The Winter's Tale is not to be missed.

The title of this piece refers both to the often hectic activity of the holiday season and the perpetual motion rhythms (played in eighth notes) that appear throughout the arrangement. Familiar carols are presented, accompanied by the perpetual motion which is passed between different sections of the orchestra. You'd better slow down-you don't want to miss this one!

These mature and well-crafted pieces for an ensemble of ten players showcase Tom Coult's ear for beguiling, burnished sonorities and his ability to harness the most complex of technical devices to rich emotional ends. Whilst his musical schemas are often audacious and innovative, the security and light touch with which Coult carries them out ensures that his Four Perpetual MotionsM are always as expressive as they are impressive. Coult was one of the winners of the 2012 Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize and was consequently commissioned to write this 13-minute work for the Philharmonia's Music of Today Series.

This totally unique (and somewhat crazy!) selection by Richard Meyer will be the hit of your holiday concert! Your audience will be delighted when they hear what happens when the festive Welsh carol Deck the Halls is combined with the dark and mysterious Hall of the Mountain King from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite. Many key playing skills---including accidentals, tempo changes, and important balance issues---are reinforced throughout. Sleigh bells and crash cymbals add just the right amount of color to this fun, good-natured seasonal gem. (2:10).
