James Holmes et al. in USA - 4 August, 1991
from Lies: A Diary 1986-1999, page 215:
JH plays tape of this morning's service in NY: two of Milhaud's Chansons Hérbraïques... and the trio from Bach's Magnificat with three of his female singers. JH says he'd admonished them: "Don't perform. The music is just happening." As distinct from opera, which should be performed.
