I find myself mezmerized by the symphonic rock from that Miller Lite commercial with the Christmas lights on the house flashing on and off to the music. At the beginning they had a little caption about the artist in the lower right corner like they would in a music video. I keep missing it though, and I was wondering: could one of you here help me out? That music is seriously awesome.

Just saw it. It was something by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

If it’s the same video that’s been circulating around the 'Net the past month, then it’s “Wizard in Winter”.

I’m almost positive it was _Wizards in Winter (Instrumental)_ off the album _The Lost Christmas Eve_.

A couple of years ago, Miller Beer was playing a commercial that had the horn solo from LOVE’S, “Alone Again Or” off the “Forever Changes” Album, always among the top 25 of all time.  
The Mystery horn player has never been credited. I did some research and found that the Horn player was from the Baja Marimba Band but no name.
