Making The Most of My Christmas Music

Olivia, The Witch And The Christmas Tree

Making the most of my Christmas music.


Particularly "Olivia, The Witch And The Christmas Tree".


With a new take on why we decorate trees at Christmas time, "Olivia, The Witch And The Christmas Tree" tells the story of a young girl (the daughter of a poor woodcutter) who ventures too far into the forest one Christmas Eve and meets a witch.


This charming narrated Christmas story is packed with characterful musical moments, suitable for all orchestras and ideal for a family audience.


As well as a Christmas-themed overture and finale, the colourful character sketches include "The Woodcutter" and "The Witch's Dance", along with the balletic "Playing With The Animals", each piece short, accessible and individual.


And it's as easy as 1, 2, 3!


1. One click on my website. I'll sort out everything from then on, whether you want to download the performance materials in A4 or Letter size, or receive printed copies delivered to your doorstep.


2. Two performances happening on the same day: The Lowell Philharmonic Orchestra (Massachusetts) and The Paddock Orchestra (Huddersfield) are both performing this work on 7th December this year. The latter narrated with as broad a Yorkshire accent as you'll hear this side of Christmas!


3. Three easy ways to perform it: As a narrated story, as a ballet or as a Christmas Suite.


So there you go! Get in touch with me when you're planning your next season.
