In 1945 Robert Shaw chose Schönberg’s a-cappella choral work Peace on Earth op. 13 for an Advent concert with the Collagiate Chorale in New York’s Carnegie Hall, with Shaw conducting, and combined it with Christmas carols, Samuel Barber’s A Stopwatch and an Ordnance Map, and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Magnificat BWV 243.
“It was a chorus of 200 to 220 would-be young singers who were gonna sing serious music rather than commercial entertainment music. It was called Collegiate Chorale because it was started in cooperation with the Marble Collegiate Church. […] We began rehearsing in the Marble Collegiate Church. […] We did Bach cantatas – Christ lag in Todes Banden, Bach motets, a few contemporary pieces like Schoenberg’s ‘Friede auf Erden’ would follow – and the Poulenc Mass – which would follow our programs on tour. We would come back and record those things which we sort of polished up through multiple performances through the United States tours.” (Robert Shaw, 1992) (Text: Arnold Schönberg Center)
