...pieces buried with John's body. To those in the room, Aloisi Masella spoke the ritual words: "Vere Papa mortuus est [The Pope is truly dead]." He then signed a formal certificate of death, and Vatican clerics dressed the body for its final appearance: golden miter, white alb, crimson and gold gloves, chasuble, buskins and slippers. In John's hands was placed the tiny black crucifix he had held in his final hours. The bells of Rome's 540 churches pealed out a requiem across the city...
...very clearly pays off. In Manhattan's Town Hall last week, upright, tuxedoed and wide awake, the Romeros demonstrated that they are indisputably one of the best guitar ensembles around. Celedonio, 45, opened with a generous sampling of the literature for the classical guitar-Galilei, Sanz, Bach, Sor, Albéniz. His sound was lushly colored, his touch always impeccable, his readings alive with an extraordinary range of nuance not often found in the guitar. Celin, 24, followed his father-again with classical selections, but in a mistier, more rhapsodic vein. Angel, 14. offered a limber, clean-lined performance...
...Bremer and his congregation will celebrate the birth of Christ with four choral Eucharists, at which all the prayers and responses will be sung in plain chant.

Then another, Rachmaninoff's Etude Tableau. The orchestra left for the night, but the audience stayed on. Cliburn played Albéniz' Eritaña. He walked offstage and came back again, smiling and bowing. At last he stole a look at the piano, walked over to it. put a hand on it and-to another burst of gratified cheers -rippled into Chopin's Etude...
...Stockholm's Great Church, lights blazed and television cameras blinked one day last week as Lutheran Bishop Helge Ljungberg solemnly placed an alb and gold-embroidered chasuble over the shoulders of a brand-new minister in Sweden's Lutheran state church. The minister: Elisabeth Durle, 30, who studied pharmacology before she switched to theology, plans to be a suburban curate. Also ordained elsewhere on the same day: Ingrid Persson, 48, who passed her theological exams in 1936 and has been a deaconess since 1949; Margit Sahlin, 46, who is already a member of the Central Committee...
