Posted: 6/8/06 at 10:37pmI love that piece. Two of my friends performed it in a big recital for the music department in college... Whenever one of the guys was unavailable for rehearsal, I'd step in! Fun, fun!

Posted: 6/8/06 at 11:50pmI'm adding all of my classical to my gigabeat.....so I am rediscovering treasures I had forgotten I had.......of particular note tonight other than Purcell was Iolanthe by G&S, The Creation by Haydn, and Ma Vlast by Smetana as I want to listen to that as we sail along the Moldau.....
