Christmas Music By Bach, Handel

For a great many people the frill- aic q! Bach and Handel make dlffl- cult listening until Christmas come: around. ‘Fhenusuddenly. W" erybody starfs singing and humming tune: by lhe two old masters. i

I

The reason for this is that bofll IBaeh and Handel were church mu- “siclam. One of their tasks was to 'compnse songs for church congrega- l‘tions to sing. Thcy proved 111cm- llaelves masters of beautiful, easily Wollou ed melodies in ihelr Christmas ‘MUSIC. Our mcsi famous Cllrislmas_

oraioric: and carols came from‘ Each and Handel.

“How Brightly ‘Beams the Morn-,

When carolers sing “Joy to the World" they‘ll be sing- ing part of the "Messiah" too. for that carol comes from themes found in the great oratorlo. Handel also composed the musical theme of “While Shepherds Watched Their Floclrs."

1t is a strange fact. but both Bach‘ and Handel were born in 1685, llvedi Ilor many years within lhirly milea' ‘of each other, and never mct. Yel- itoday. the Christmas music iilcy

flower: Are Part lOf Yule Legend:

There are several flowers appro- priate during the Yuletide season ‘which are connected vrifh the birth of Christ by the legends of history. Salnfoin, or "Holy Hay," is said i0 have cradled the inlant. Christ. in the manger. The snowdrop is the flower of the Virgin Mary. and is laid to be the emblem of the can- dles she lighted on Christmas. i According w legend, the Christ- mas rose was divinely crcaled. A Jhepherd maid wept at. having no lgiff to lay before the Babe in the imanger. Suddenly an angel ap- lpeiired to her. On hearing why the lmalden wept, the sngcl fouchcd the ground where hcr fears had fallen and immediately the place was white with Christmas roses. whichl the maid gathered and laid in the manger. , The chrysanthemum is said lo .havc appearcd first. on Cllrlstmaa lFve near the manger as .1 sign to’ ‘the Wise Mrn that ihey lmd rcachcdl “the spot where ihc slar hull blrlrlcir ‘, them.

iThe Cllllfilrfilllld lay on Marya lap,‘ ‘His hair v.a: like a light.

,(0 weary. weary were the world, _Buf here is all arighl.) i

The Christ-child lay on liiaryk‘ breast,

Hi: hair was like a star.

(0 stern and cunning are the kings.

But here fhe truc hearts are.) ,

The Chrisbchlld lay on Mary's heart, His hair was like a fire. (0 weary. weary is the wcpld. Bu! here the world's desire.) "f" ‘The Chrlsbchlld stood at Alan's‘ knee. i His hair “as like a crown. And all ihc flower: looked up at Him. ‘ And all the stars looked down. ——G. K. Chesterton.

Magi Were Priests Of Persian Religion ,

Along about this time of the year there's a lot lvrllien, said and sung about the Magi. Just who were the Magi, anyway’)

The Magi were ancient Pcrslan rcliglon called Zoroaillriamsm. 'l'hc Greek histor- jan Herodoius gives a very favor-l ;abie account of them and their linfluencc m a society which existed

‘,four hundred years before Christ's 1blflh. i v According to Herodotus the MagII . were powerful in public and private

affairs. They conducted the educa- I lion of the young princes, and were “in constant atlcndance upon the ‘king as counselors.

This description of a ‘Magi ap-' ipeara in the sacred writing of Zorn-l iaster: "Thou shouldsf. call him priest, who cits the whole night thrul ‘and yearns for holy wisdom that enables man to stand upon deaLHal bridge fearless and with happyi heart, the wisdom whereby he at- ‘taina the holy and glorious world of paradile."

; The three Mall. or Wise Men. ,who followed the Star of Bethlehem 11nd brought gifts of ma. frank-i ‘incense and myrrh to the Chrlltl ;chlld remain nameless. but they were the first to recognize the! importance of the birth of the! Prince of Peace.
