Last week, 507 years after Cardinal Isidore went through the wall, the Vatican again had an accredited ambassador in Istanbul. It named as apostolic internuncio (equivalent to minister plenipotentiary, and one step below apostolic nuncio or full ambassador) Francesco Lardone, 73, longtime (1924-49) professor of canon law at Catholic University of America in Washington, who last served the Vatican as nuncio to Peru. Last fall the Vatican switched Italian-born Archbishop Lardone to Istanbul as apostolic delegate to Turkey's 200,000 Catholics, mostly Eastern Rite Christians in communion with Rome. Turkey in turn has sent its first...
...taxing role demanded. In minor roles, Soprano Laurel Hurley and Tenor Charles Anthony were adequate as the jailer's daughter, Marzelline, and the turnkey Jacquino, and Bass Oskar Czerwenka contributed a strong, virile-voiced Jailer Rocco. But in their first-act quartet in the form of a canon, Mir ist so wunderbar, the four were often shakily uneven.

For the most part the new constitutions restate and re-emphasize existing provisions of canon law, apply old disciplines to new situations. Items...
Threni is really a series of canonic passages, generally sung by soloists, punctuated by choral enunciations of the Hebrew letters that divide the text. The letters are short, frequently no more that a bar, and gentle, in the manner of Orpheus and the Sonata for two pianos. The considerable body of instruments is never used all at once, but broken into chamber-like groups; even then the instrumental comments are decidedly laconic. Exceptionally, the first movement includes a remarkable passage for tenor and fluegelhorn in free canon, while low sopranos, altos and low violins tremolandi move about restlessly. The peculiar...
