I" I" J ~ , . J I I " THE STORY OF A CHRISTMAS EVE FANTASY Out of the stillness distant chimes are heard ringing a strain from "Silent Night, Holy Night." A festival spirit is abroad and the merry old song, "Begone Dull Care" reaches us from far down the street. The band of singers comes nearer but their jolly song fades into the night as they turn down a byway. Again the chimes, and lot another group of choristers is at our very door serenading us with the beloved old carols, "0 Sanctissima" and "Once in Royal David's City." Christmas hospi­ tality demands that they be invited to join the merrymaking within. There, to Tschaikowsky's music for the fairy story, "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," the children are dancing in joyful antici­ pation of the morrow and the delight of exploring to the uttermost toe the stockings that are already expectantly hanging about the chimney piece. The tuning of violins prepares one for the lovely music of Boccherini' s ."l1inuet" which sounds as fresh and dainty as when heard on Christmas Eve a century or more ago. The ancient dance over, the chimes, still pealing their Christmas message, mingle with the singing of "The Bells Of St. Mary's." With its concluding phrases a distant spire rings out the hour of midnight. Christmas has come - announced with the solemn splendor of Gounod's "Sanctus," the last notes of which bring a moment of reverent silence falling upon the scene like a benediction. To I hearts aglow with Christmas joy, "Auld Lang Syne" renews the precious memories that cling to thoughts of Christmas with its old yet ever delightful story. A Christmas Eve Fantasy - Ampico #6800 Contributed by Bob Conant & Arranged and played by L. Leslie Loth. Bill and Dee Kavouras. '< J J I ,I I , I I , I " , " ,,,,".,,. • I _I J I. , . I, I, , I I " ~ It seems once again appropriate to open the holiday issue of THE AMICA with the descriptive story from the leader of an Ampico Christmas roll. While often serving as a brief review of a particular artist's interpretation of the music, these "story" leaders also give historical information as to the origin of the music. Our mail indicates that there is a continued in­ terest in the reprinting of these descriptive leaders and we will be happy to provide them as long as members send them in. Merry Christmas. and Happy New Year to aU! Tom and Carole Beckett - 222 - Jnfernafional cJtcJr(JfBcJt FROM THE PUBLISHER 1977 DUES: In this month's BULLETIN you will find DECEMBER COVER a second notice dues form. Needless to say, we hope you will make use of this second form if perchance Our beautiful December cover was the contribution of you misplaced the copy in your November BULLETIN. Dick Dahlberg of Maryland. The version above is a vIe look forward to having ALL of you back wi th us copy of the unaltered original made by John R. Grant. next year - and we anticipate hearing from many new.' Amicans as well. 1977 BULLETINS: The schedule of publication for 1977 should be as it was in '76. There will be 10 issues "- of the BULLETIN, starting in February (advertisers FABRIC DE ROLOS DE M take note - there will be no issue in January) and continuing monthly, with a;-as yet to be determined ··PIA,NAUTO one issue break in the summer while I take a vacation, until the end of the year. I would like to express my appreciation to all who contributed to the BULLETIN in 1976 as it was you who provided the reading material and educational information for the rest of your fellow Amicans. I hope to hear from even more of you in 1977. Also, AMICA extends its gratitude to its advertisers, in particular American International Galleries, QRS, Play-Rite and Mechanical Systems Inc. and the many others who have helped support this production. CHAPTER OFFICERS: Finally, I would like to extend congratulations to all chapter officers of 1976. Maintaining organization, interest, and growth on the local level takes special people and a good deal of effort. It might bear a reminder that joining a club implies that you are willing to contribute to that club. There is some way that everyone can help - be it on a local or national level - in 1977. There probably will be a lot of new names on the Chapter Officers roster in the BULLETIN masthead by the next issue so we take this opportunity to say "Thank you" to the ones who are listed there now.
