Sounds absolutely beautiful, and yes, it does sound like a doozy. It's a doozy
if I've ever heard it. Now I have to contact my publishers to get a copy and
see what we can do with it.
Thanks Chris!

Hi Rich-
If you are looking for a "doozy", this would certainly qualify! Our
choir is singing the Vivaldi "Gloria" on the first half of the concert, but
the
doozy comes in the second half. We are singing Craig Courtney's "A
Musicological Journey Through the 12 Days of Christmas"(Hinshaw Music), with
each day
being in the style of a certain period of music. The 1st day is sung by the
men in plainchant, 2nd day in the style of 15th century France (my guys are
singing it in their falsetto voice!), etc, with the progression of musical
styles
ending on the 12th day with 20th century American music (Sousa's "Stars and
Stripes Forever" tune). Our choir absolutely loved it in our choir retreat
last
weekend. There is a pre-existing orchestration, but I am scoring it for our
Vivaldi orchestra and a Rodgers 967 with PRS-300. Does this qualify for a
"doozy"?
