There exists a brief recording of Django's "Messe" played on the Organ.

With regard to the music for Racine's Andromaque -

Antonietto, Alain, François Billard, and François Billard. Django Reinhardt : Rythmes Futurs. Paris: Fayard, 2004. Pages 344-345

Quite unaware of the dangers he faced as a Gypsy, during the German occupation, Django agreed to compose incidental music for a "modern" version of Andromaque by Racine, which promised to be dangerously scandalous . Directed by Jeans Marais, and with avant-guard staging and scenery, the play, opened in May 1944 at the Theatre Edouard VII. Those involved in the production were provoked with physical threats by the Militia, and the vengeance of the collaborationist press. André Castelot in the publication, La Gerbe - June 1, 1944 - even attacked the music of Django ... advising him to "go green" (camouflage) while traveling around France - whether with his quintet, or when in the company of his memorable nomadic "cousins". Django went to the Riviera, especially Toulon, where in August 1944, he joined an orchestra of American G.I.s which had just arrived.

Ideology, Cultural Politics and Literary Collaboration at la Gerbe.

http://www.questia.com/googleScholar.qst?docId=5002192213 by Richard J. Golsan

Of the major weekly reviews published in Paris during the Occupation, perhaps none is more representative of the period itself and the spirit of collaboration with Nazi Germany than La Gerbe. Created 'out of whole cloth' by the German Embassy to serve its political and cultural objectives,[2] la Gerbe began publication in July 1940 and ceased publication in August 1944. Two hundred and fourteen issues of the journal appeared in all. A large-scale poster campaign in the streets of Paris preceded the appearance of the first number of La Gerbe on 11 July 1940,[3] and the offices of the journal on the Rue des Pyramides were ransacked following the Liberation.
