     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 how
     he hasn't seen his daughter in many years. In "Old City
     Bar," the angel finds the daughter, standing alone
     outside a bar, and talks to the bartender who, out of a
     random act of kindness, takes all the cash from his
     register drawer and gives it to the girl so she can go
     home. The third song, "This Christmas Day," has the
     father praising God, thanking him for bringing his
     daughter back to him on this night of all nights. It is
     a very touching story, pondering the thought that "If
     you want to arrange it/This world you can change it/If
     we could somehow make this/Christmas thing last/By
     helping a neighbor/Or even a stranger." Musically, the
     band has taken some traditional Christmas songs ("O
     Come All Ye Faithful," "O Holy Night," "The First
     Noel") and mixed in some modern rock music. The result
     is stunning and very impressive. It is filled with
     energy that simply blows you away. The already classic
     "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" is a gripping
     instrumental based on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
     (although you might have to listen carefully to hear
     it). Fans of progressive music should like this one.
     And if you're into the more recent works of Savatage
     (like Handful of Rain or Dead Winter Dead) you'll
     really love this.
