Arranged by Zach Mirman for performance by The Intermission Orchestra, a collegiate student community orchestra, at its Fall 2025 concert in the Price Center West Ballroom, La Jolla, California on December 5, 2025.
“What! Is! This!? Christmas Town? Hmmm…”
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 stop motion musical, following Jack Skellington, the King of Halloween, as he attempts to take over Christmas and find meaning in his life. This ambitious arrangement condenses the best of the movie into a single medley, clocking it at nearly 12 minutes long. And yet, every scene and score of the movie is ripe with character and creativity; one of the hardest parts of this arrangement was fighting the urge to make it even longer! Although fans have yet to decide what season is best to watch this movie (my vote is for Halloween), this medley is performed for you just in time for Christmas! - Zach
