Also called 'L'Enfance du Christ'. Not to be confused with 'The House of the Ishmaelite' (Cat. No 0090), although a different treatment of the same theme. 'This is either the fourth or fifth attempt at the 'Childhood of Christ', an endeavour at a refinement in keeping with the astringency of the instruments" P.B.B. From the trio for two flutes and harp in Berlioz' "Childhood of Christ".
