It used to be that I just had to hear certain pieces of music every Christmas. These songs were connections to my long ago past, to my childhood, to my teenage years. Some of these pieces included: Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors, The Carol of the Bells, Silent Night, I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas, and so on. This Christmas, however, I haven't sought out any of those things . . . am I getting old? Am I getting "beyond Christmas"?
