An hour before the Service
of Holy Communion last night,
the Washington Cathedral was
the scene of an extraordinary
musical event, the world pre-
miere of John La Montaine's
pageant-opera for Christmas,
"Novellis. Novellis."
The festival of the Nativity
is. one which has been ira
ditionally observed throughout
the centuries with music,
drama, and pageantry, and
there was no question that Mr..
La Montaine'S piece was COM
pletely appropriate to its
church setting and highly devo-
tional in character.
The libretto of his hour long
opera tells the story of Christ
mas from the Annunciation
through the birth of Jesus. 1t
was arranged from three |
sources-the King James Bible.
two medieval miracle plays, and |
the Latin liturgy.
tThe opera is in three scenes,
with the burden of the story |
being sung in Middle English by
the individual actor. Familiar
verses from Isaiah, Matthew,
and Luke spoken by a narrator
serve as points of orientation. |
while the chorus comments on
the action in the words of the
Liber USualis.
There were impressive mo-
mentS scattered throughout the |
hour. The initial procession of |
the players down the aisles, il
Eliminated only by candlelight |
and accompanied only by bells, |
was most moving. The sudden |
appearance of Gabriel, won-
drously coStumed. in a blaze
OF light, was quite awe-inspir-
ing. The tiny attendants, an
inspired touch. were superbly
evocative of the poetry of the
occasion.
But even though the work
was composed with the re-
quirements of the Cathedral in
mind. 1t seemed to me that Mr..
La Montaine, gifted as he is.
had not satisfactorily solved
the extraordinarily difficult
problems posed by the vast
stage of his choice.
The story is familiar but the
actual words. supposedly of
some Importance in an opera
might Just as we'll have been in
Urdu or Martian, so far as COM
prehensibility was concerned.
And it was not, I am afraid,
merely a matter of the cavern
GUS acoustics of the cathedral,
either. The English of the
Bible was quite understandable,
even against a musical accom-
paniment. The main trouble
seemed to be Mr.. La Montaine's
distinctive use of ornamental
ton and canon, which sue
ceeded in creating an impen-
etrable linguistic jungle at the
same time as it evoked a
shadowy medieval world.
| Furthermore, the composers

Snow Rules

Metropolitan Area officials
have agreed to seek approval
of uniform measures to keep
traffic moving when snow
storms hit.
At a meeting yesterday the
executive board of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Regional
Conference approved in prin-
ciple a Six-point snow emer-
gency program that had been
recommended by the Metro
politan Area council.
Under the proposal all area
jurisdictions would adopt the
special emergency snow plans
similar to those in the District.
This includes plans which re-
quire snow tires or chains, give
official warning against nom
essential trips and ban parking
on major thoroughfares.
Surrounding communit | e S
would also stockpile sand and
salt on hills and steep sections
of arterial routes and would
arrange to the extent possible
to have tow-trucks, and other
services for stalled motorists.
These would involve contracts
with private garages.
The proposal also calls for
an early warning system which
would alert all snow removal
agencies in the area, and a
snow headquarters center which
would correlate information on
traffic conditions throughout
the area.
The traffic council also sug-
gested that an extensive snow
education program be started
to tell motorists what they can
do to avoid traffic snarls and
stalling when the SHOWS hit.
