Vincent Oppido:

A London Sketch

During the recording session for "Yes, Virginia!" in September 2023, I recorded a new piece called "A London Sketch." This energetic work was inspired by my musical impressions of London and its people. When I think of London, I associate it with elegance, poignancy, history, traditions, and friendliness. There is also a small recollection of my fright the first time I experienced left-side-of-the-road driving! London is one of my favorite cities and also the place where the Beatles recorded most of their amazing music. As a Beatles fan, it was thrilling to incorporate the "Mrs. Mills" upright piano, which was used on countless Beatles records. Can you spot the 5 Beatles quotations?

Vincent Oppido:

Yes, Virginia! There Is A Santa Claus

I’m certainly not the first person to maintain that you can never have enough Christmas spirit. Christmas, as I have embraced it for many years, is a time to set aside differences and difficulties, pains and loss, and hopelessness with both an eye and an ear toward restoring hope and giving some new meaning to life. Isn’t that something we all need a lot more of right now? Vincent’s work, “Yes, Virginia!” goes a long way in helping people reconnect to the spirit of Christmas. Not just the spirit of giving and receiving, but of gratitude, joy and peace…….Alec Baldwin

Rising star composer, conductor and orchestrator, Vincent Oppido announces his new musical setting for the evergreen seasonal Christmas newspaper editorial, 'Yes, Virginia! There Is A Santa Claus'.  He presents here two options for enjoying the work - a purely orchestral version alongside a narrated version, featuring the voice talent of Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin and child narrator, Chloe Izzo. The track was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra with Oppido conducting and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London.
