The pleasures Of Christmas
music are usually ephemeral,
The carolers come and quite
quickly go. to be unheard for
most Of another year.
This need not be, of course,
for there are now scores of rec
ords Of yuletide music. One Of
the most appealing of such
records for the sheer loneliness
Of the pure. youthful sound to
be found upon it, is the collec-
ton made for Angel by the
choir Of London's st. Paul's
Cathedral. This collection Of
seven unhackneyed carols is
now available both in an ex-
tensive two-disc set and on q
single 12-inch disc, both Of
which also offer other music.
Certainly there is more than
seasonal pleasure here.
A closely related venture,
with some overlapping Of rep
ertoire. has been undertaken
in a record embracing the
largest part of the annual
Christmas Eve service at Kings
College Chapel, Cambridge.
The service. known as a Fes-
tival of Lessons and Carols,
includes the reading of por-
tions Of the Christmas story.
The record is appealingly
churchlike. although on the
review copy there was some
distortion in the reproduction

Basil Rathbone Reads
The Bible. as read by Basil
Rathbone. is also the unifying
element on another Westmin-

case musical responsibilities
are shared among the Kings

Singers. Carl Weinrich playing
excerpts from Bach's Little
Organ Book and others. The
total effect is surprisingly sue
cessful. A number of familiar
carols are included.
These two Westminster rec
ords must be played as en-
titles, since the musical selec-
tons are not separated in in
dividual bands.

both familiar and unfamiliar,
