When the full moon starts to climb, we'll all sing out... it's time to talk about the best stop-motion animated Halloween/Christmas movie musical ever made! Hee hee hee hee heeee! Tim Burton and Danny Elfman's maniacal miniature-musical The Nightmare Before Christmas was unusual when it came out in 1993 and, despite the fact that it went on to became a beloved Disney classic, is still unusual today. The centerpiece ensemble song "Making Christmas," during which the well-meaning but hopeless denizens of Halloween Town attempt to craft their own kind of creepy Christmas, is a crucial turning point for the film, both narratively and musically. In this episode, Kirk takes a closer look at what makes "Making Christmas" tick, from its densely interwoven character motifs to its ever-shifting orchestration to its earth-shaking contrabass woodwinds. Band/Artist: Danny Elfman and the Halloween Town Cast Album: The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, 1993 Composed by: Danny Elfman Listen/Buy: Apple Music | Amazon | Spotify ------ ALSO FEATURED: Various other songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, 1993 "The Simpsons Theme" by Danny Elfman, 1989 "Dead Man's Party" and "Weird Science" by Danny Elfman/Oingo Boingo from Dead Man's Party, 1985 "Dies Irae" performed by the monks of the Abbey of Notre Dame "Theme from The Shining" by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind, 1980 "The Carol of the Bells" by Mykola Leontovych, 1914, with lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky, as conducted by John Williams on the soundtrack from Home Alone ------ Update 10/31: After I published this episode on the 30th, several listeners wrote in to tell me about the Dies Irae, a 13th century Gregorian death chant that also shares the first four notes of the "Making Christmas" motif and has turned up in a TON of movies besides. I wasn't familiar with the Dies Irae (I know!), so I've updated the episode to include a mention of it. You'll have to redownload the episode if you want to hear that version. You can also watch a great Vox explainer video about the Dies Irae here: https://www.vox.com/videos/2019/9/16/20868789/creepy-melody-movies-catholic-chant-lion-king-shining - Kirk ------ NEW MUSIC VIDEO!

Hier c'était la journée internationale du pull de Noël et c'est un signe qui ne trompe pas car bientôt, on s'échangera des cadeaux aux pieds du sapin en famille. Quelle bonne ambiance nous attend ! Le cadeau nul, les engueulades à table, la crise de foie ou de foi selon votre parcours spirituel et bien sûr la musique. Et pour éviter que Noël ce soit aussi triste qu'un nain sur reste de bûche glacée qui fond, que ce soit juste les boules (et je ne parle pas de celles accrochées au sapin), et je ne sais quelle autre catastrophe, je vais te remettre des étoiles dans les yeux. Oui rappelle-toi quand Noël c'était cool et pas quelque chose de cynique ou une simple punition, voire une épreuve d'amélioration du karma. Je vais te faire une émission que tu pourras écouter à table, dans ton lit, devant ta cheminée. Je te remplis la chaussette en avance et j'espère que ça va te plaire ! Plus en tout cas que mes blagues graveleuses. Nous allons revenir dans cet épisode sur le chant de Noël, qui s'est imposé comme un classique chez les anglo-saxons mais qui existe bel et bien en France. De la musique donc, des reprises et surtout UNE SURPRISE A LA FIN DE L'EMISSION. Donc reste.
