The Christmas music in all the more fashionable centres of ecclesiastical attraction has been this year uncommonly fine. Many rising composers had written masses expressly for the occasion, and these, interpreted by the leading artists of the day, seem to have been eminently successful. A beautiful mass was performed, at the Chapel of the Tuileries on Christmas, in presence of the court, the King and Queen of Portugal, and a numerous gathering of distinguished guests specially invited. All the numerous members of the Imperial family were present at this gathering, with the exception of Princess Anna Murat.
