Christmas Stories and Scenes
Christmas stories told in song from the darkest years of the 20th century. From Arthur Honegger (pictured above), traditional carols flavor Une Cantate de Noel (A Christmas Cantata); German-born Hugo Distler draws inspiration from the Baroque with Die Weihnachtsgeschichte (The Christmas Story); and Gerald Finzi fondly remembers one Christmas Eve in In Terra Pax, Christmas Scene.
