A quieter observance, a moment of peace, would likely be welcomed by many during the bustle. As for choral music, we attended <a href="http://www.atlantasymphony.org/calendarandtickets/eventdetails.aspx?eventId=530" rel="nofollow">Christmas with the ASO</a> this past Saturday, and there definitely wasn't a single Rutter arrangement to be found on the whole program. This does not surprise me, given what a purist Robert Shaw was. Shaw's Christmas albums provided the soundtrack for my holiday memories, with Dad singing along as he got the ornaments down from the top of the hall closet to decorate the tree.
