I wish I had bought more French editions (where appropriate, of course) back in my school years and in the years immediately after, when (1) there wasn't such a sticker shock, and (2) APPARENTLY money was no object. Has money ever not been an object?Right. It just seems like I was buying a lot of things (like scores) without so much as thinking about it, in that long ago time, than in any recent time.Back in the 1990s, I bought quite a few complete piano/vocal scores for musicals just because. I still have them all, including I'm sure every Sondheim score (or vocal selections, if a score wasn't published).Show scores went up like everything else, but the price on some classical musical scores now is completely insane. And yet, in the 1960s and 1970s I never thought that.

Since we've been talking choral music, here's another short favorite. Eriks Esenvalds's gorgeous setting of Sara Teasdale's haunting ONLY IN SLEEP.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs0adaPmKdM
The Piazzola piece was amazing. I wanted to dance several times. My ear isn’t good enough to pick out the Vivaldi references. But I loved it. https://youtu.be/yPFUEVqTHqo
I am going to be away from HHW for a time. I will return at a later date.
