I wish to agree with Laura - Karen is quite amazing. She saves the rest
of us lots of hours searching for rep... I also wish to add that Blow's
Paratum cor meum is a particularly beautiful piece for 2 sopranos, based on
a ground. The vocal lines become more and more complicated as the piece
progresses, yet it is still not too difficult. I am accompanying two
singers on harpsichord in a few days, who will be singing this, but I am
sure it can be done with organ or piano.
