Composers Inspired... Famous composers have found in Christmas inspiration for some of their most renowned music. At Christmas, and Easter, too, people gather to hear performances of Handel’s “Messiah.” Bach’s Christmas Oratorio” and Berlioz’ “L’Enfance du Christ” are other examples of “serious” music often specially performed at Christmas. Twentieth century composers, too, have written music around Christmas themes. Probably the most familiar example is Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” an opera commissioned for television and performed annually. Honegger’s “Christmas Cantata” and Britten’s "Ceremony of Carols” are other notable examples.
