George Bizet used an old Provencal carol to open his
L'Arlesienne Suite. A British hymn writer
borrowed the tune from a now-forgotten work by Felix Mendelssohn to
create one of the most famous of all Christmas songs.
Join Stephen Peithman for an exploration of classical works
that have inspired carols, and carols that have found their way
into works by Bizet, Respighi, Liszt, Schoenberg and many
others-on this week's Connections.
