More Wonderland stuff: a short video featuring the promoshoot..

And, an article!

The album features classics such as “Silver Bells” reimagined into a shimmering, orchestrated picturesque tale as well as “Angels We Have Heard On High,” a percussive hymn of adoration and Randy Newman’s forlorn “Snow” from the 1960s. Emmylou Harris contributes vocals on “Go Tell It On The Mountain”, also featuring Martha Wainwright, and “Away In A Manager,” a new holiday song reinvented as a country shuffle.

Members of Canadian quartet, Half Moon Run, play on five tracks and helped McLachlan flesh out some of the arrangements, including “Huron Carol,” Canada’s oldest Christmas song. “They’re all in their mid-to-late 20s. They’re incredible musicians,” McLachlan says. Rounding out the guests is the world famous Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, who perform on three songs, including “Let It Snow,” “Silver Bells,” and “Huron Carol.” McLachlan enlisted orchestral arranger Brian Byrne to handle the particulars. “We had decided early on that it would be great to have string arrangements,” McLachlan says. “We left some space for that and sent the arrangements to him and said ‘Work your magic.’ He did.”

Sarah did an interview with EDGE Radio yesterday, talking about her shows with Josh and the Christmas album. Apparently we’re not getting original songs, but classic and older Christmas songs! You can listen to it here:

Here’s the related article!

EDGE Radio: So, you obviously have a lot going on with the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, and school for your daughter, how do you find the balance between writing music, and all of that?

McLachlan: I have a lot of help. Any moment I have to steal away 15 minutes I do. I can get a lot done in 15 minutes. I try to go for a hike every morning, which is blissful, good for my soul, and good for my body. And, that’s when I write. I carry my phone with me and dictate lyrics to my phone. I must look like a crazy person walking out in nature talking into my phone.

I don’t have a full setlist just yet, but videos/tweets suggests that Sarah played both Angel with Josh Groban as well as a Snow Patrol cover, “Run”. Watch below a short clip of that cover!
