This was the song which led to the creation of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. A predecessor band, Savatage, recorded an album about the genoicide in Bosnia called Dead Winter Dead. One track was entitled Sarajevo 12/24. The song was inspired by the story of a lone cellist who would play Christmas carols in the ruins of Sarajevo. The song is a fusion of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and The Carol of the Bells.
