Trivia[]
- "Back to a Reason (Part II)" is a sequel to the Savatage song "Back to a Reason", on their 2001 release Poets and Madmen.
- "Queen of the Winter Night" is a re-working of the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart opera The Magic Flute (specifically, the Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen aria).
- "Wish Liszt" is a re-working of "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" by Franz Liszt.
- "Christmas Canon Rock" is a re-working of "Christmas Canon" (originally found on The Christmas Attic), which is in turn a re-working of Pachelbel's Canon in D. Unlike "Christmas Canon", "Christmas Canon Rock" does not feature a children's choir, rather using electric guitars, a drum kit, a bass guitar, guitar solos and Jennifer Cella on lead vocals accompanied by backing vocals. "Christmas Canon Rock" is also performed in the key of A instead of the traditional key of D.
- "Wizards in Winter" is an instrumental song that gained fame as the backing music for Carson Williams' home-made light show.
- "Christmas Jazz" is a re-working of the holiday standard "Good King Wenceslas."
