Christmas has inspired a
number Of composers. One
thinks Immediately Of Bach's
Christmas Oratorio" and his
various Christmas cantatas,
and Of Heinrich Schuetz'
Christmas Story" and Of
course Of Handles Messiah"
The French composer, Ar
thur Honegger, composed a
Christmas cantata, the Can
tate de Noel" in 1858. The
work is scored for baritone
mixed and children's choruses,
organ and orchestra.
Honegger established his
music firmly in the Christmas
tradition by incorporating sew
eral Of the best-known Christ
mas songs. These are "Stille
Nacht. Heilige Nacht," "Es list
elm RoS' entsprungen." Prom
heaven on high the angels fly"
and two Latin hymns. Gloria
in excelsis Dec" and "Laudate
Dominum." The composer
stipulated that they were to
be sung in the original Ian
guages, in order to symbolic
the univerSality of the Christ
mas spirit.
The "Cantate de Noel" is an
exuberant, large-scaled work.
Honegger himself has de-
Scribed 1t as simple and
tonal." on the model of the
songs 1t Incorporates. Some
listeners may consider Sim
pie" a bit of an understate-
ment, for the work before its
end becomes decidedly con-
trapuntal. However, 1t has a
considerable charm.
A First Recording
Epic has made available a
first recording Of the cantata,
performed by French forces
under the leadership Of Paul
Sacher. with Michel Roux as
the baritone soloist. Sacher
commissioned the work and
led its premiere, so the per-
Torrance presumably bears
the stamp of authority. De-
spite its musical size it is rel
atively short. requiring a l2-
inch LIP side.
On the oversize OF the Epic
disc is a work entitled 1.-The
Christmas Story" by a Ger
man composer, Hugo Distler,
who was born in 1908 and
committed suicide in 1912 re-
portedly because of Illustration
under the Nazi regime. He |
wrote mostly choral music.
THE Christmas Story" is |
unaccompanied. 1t is actually a |
set Of variations on the chorale
''Es list elm Ros' entsprungen,"
alternating between choral |
numbers and solo recitative on |
the model Of music of the 18th |
century. It reminds one of |
Schuetz' work, except that the
originality and mastery of the
older one are far greater. "Es
iSt Elm RoS' entsprungen"
(known in English as 10,
how a rose e'er blooming') |
is well worth dwelling upon.
however. A Dutch chorus of |
men and boys is responsible |
for a musicianly performance. |
No translation is included for |
either of the works on the rec
ord, a decided handicap.
The birth of Jesus is the |
subject Of another contem-
porary effort entitled 1.-THE
Coming of the King" This
Is a version of the Christmas
story written primarily for
children by the Rev. Norman
Vincent Peale of the Marble
Collegiate Church Of New York,
Tor which a musical score
Utilizing choir and organ was
supplied by Don ellis.
Seems SentimentaIized
Columbia has recorded the
work, with David Wayne as the
narrator and Ralph Hunter
conducting. On the oversize
ire a number Of the most
'amiliar carols. To one adult
listener, the Peale-Gillis-
Wayne effort is rather senti-
nentalized, but perhaps
younger hearers would react

performances in Lisner Audi

Mozart. die Entfuhrung aus

From the Seraglio). for its
debut.
The society is the result Of
the enthusiasm created by
other Mozart operas given here
during the past two seasons by
the National Symphony-"Cosi

The organization had it's in

one woman called another on

Isn't there something we can

A PrOpiti0us Selection
It is not only the antece-

SO propitious a work to intro

also the piece itself is ideal.
Written when Mozart was in
the full strength of his early
maturity. the opera is unique
among the Is or 10 Of his
career. 1t is no finer a work
than "Cosi," Figaro" or Don
Giovanni" written when the
composers craftsmanship
could be taken for granted,
and when his inspiration never
failed. but 1t has a curious but
almost tangible feeling of in
candescent creativeneSs about
1t. Each of the 81 numbers
rushes out as though Mozart
had been given the divine
