program notes by composition > n > Selections from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Selections from The Nightmare Before Christmas takes us on a journey through the fantastical world of Halloween Town, where Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, grows weary of the same annual routine and stumbles upon the enchanting realm of Christmas Town. Danny Elfman’s score for Tim Burton’s movie is a masterful blend of dark fantasy and whimsical charm. This appealing medley includes: “Overture,” “What’s This?,” “Christmas Eve Montage,” “Sally’s Song,” “This Is Halloween,” and “What’s This?” reprise.
