Well, no. I liked that song we sang about Mother MAry queen of Paradise our Junior year (ah, choir), but I haven't heard anything else I've liked. I as the opera he made out of A Midsummer Night's Dream a few times (they did it in San Francisco about twelve years ago) but didn't care for it. What works are you thinking of?

I don't think I've ever heard the opera, but I like a lot of his chorals and his requiem. I like Jubilate Deo in E Flat and A Ceremony of Carols: Opus 28, especially This Little Babe.

I very much like the Hymn to St. Cecilia, but I must admit I've never seen the appeal of Paul Bunyan or Midsummer. Anything in particular bring this on?

Just reinvigorating my love of music by playing cds I haven't listened to in a while.

Plus, not only did I purchase books in Maryland, but cds too!
