NOTE FROM THE EDITOR In orchestral music, there are many editorial markings that are open for interpretation. In an effort to maintain consistency and clarity you may find some of these markings in this piece. In general, markings for fingerings, bowing patterns, and other items will only be marked with their initial appearance. For a more detailed explanation of our editorial markings, please download the free PDF at www.alfred.com/stringeditorial. x extended position - shift A , [ , N high or low fingerings , bow lift/reset ≥ ≥ or ≤ ≤ hooked bowings I hope you will find these explanations to be helpful. Best wishes with all of your musical endeavors! Chris M. Bernotas Director of String Publications 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. As seen in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra stage show, The Christmas Attic, this lyric piece 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.
