REWARD SHOE STORES 'Carols Are Yule Tribute For a great many péople the music of Bach and Handel make difficult listening -- until Christ- mas comes around. Then, sudden- ly, everybody 'starts singing and humming tunes by the two old masters. | The reason for this is that both Bach and Handel were church musicians: 'One of their tasks was to compose songs for church con- gregations to sing. They proved emselves masters of beautiful, easily followed melodies. "How Brightly Beams the Morn- ing Star" was composed by Bach and his *""Christmas Oratorio" con- tains the themes of several other popular chorales.
