H Banquet FugueJohn Rutter. Beginning
with the lyric, "Guzzle, guzzle, guzzle, munch,
munch, gobble, gobble, chomp, pass the salt and
pepper...," you can immediately see the possibilities
for a delightful, tongue-in-cheek fugue! Recorded
by The King's Singers on the sound track recording
of John Rutter's operetta "The Reluctant Dragon,"
this is a most enjoyable selection which ends,
unfortunately, as do many good banquets-with an
audible expression of contentment.

whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and
sings...Spend all you have for loveliness, buy it and
never count the cost..." Sara Teasdale's wonderful

expressive musical setting. Simply beautiful, the

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "How beautiful
is the rain! After the dust and heat, in the broad
and fiery street, in the narrow lane. How beautiful
is the rain!" The "drip-drop" piano part sets the
scene for "drip-drop" vocal rain, while rainstick,
drum, wood block and triangle complete the
picture. This is simply delightful!

sings and rings in the hills."
