''The Christmas Attic'' is the second album by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a rock opera, and the second installment of their ''Christmas Trilogy''. Cover art created by Edgar Jerins.〔(Interview with Edgar Jerins )〕 The story is about a young child exploring the attic in an old house on Christmas Eve. The opening poetry sets up the story; ''In this room where shadows live'' ''And ghost that fail learn time forgives'' ''Welcome friends please stay a while'' ''Our story starts with one small child'' ''Who spend her nights in attics dark'' ''Where dreams are stored like sleeping hearts'' This album contains a mix of vocal and instrumental songs but as usual with TSO the story is the core of the album. The track "Christmas Canon," one of the orchestra's most well-known songs, is a variation of Johann Pachelbel's famous ''Canon in D Major'', with lyrics and new music added. The album was performed live for the first time during the band's 2014 Winter Tour. ==Track listing== The album was re-released in 2002 with a companion track to "The World That She Sees" (which was shortened from 5:59 to 3:00 minutes) called "The World That He Sees" inserted into the track listing directly after "She Sees" and having a length of 4:45. The last track "Music Box Blues" was also truncated to 4:57; this version was previously used in their film "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Christmas Attic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
