520    Though Carl Heinrich Graun (1703/4-1759) was regarded as 
       one of the leading opera composers of his day, his 
       reputation has not survived with changing times and tastes
       in music. His Weihnachtsoratorium (c. 1722) has been given
       new life in a scholarly performing edition published by 
       Ortus (1998) and an elegant recording led by conductor 
       Hermann Max. Graun's oratorio is a work that could enhance
       the usual offering of Christmas works for church, school, 
       and community choirs. Its choral movements are expertly 
       crafted and well within the reach of most choral 
       ensembles. The lyrical arias are full of text imagery and 
       beautiful melodies that foreshadow Graun's success in the 
       opera arena. This paper serves as an introduction to the 
       composer and to the work and includes a movement-by-
       movement analysis and suggestions for performance.
