Thought I'd reprint a letter I received:
Dear Friends and Family: I thought you might be interested in the following which just came to me from our eldest son, Dick, in Ottawa, Canada. Perhaps some of you have already heard this news, but I had not. ================================================================= March 13, 2001
Hi Dad,
Have you heard about the fantastic new find in England of a previously unknown manuscript by Handel? The work is entitled Gloria in Excelsis Deo, and it was discovered in a tightly bound collection of Handel's arias. Its world premier will take place later this year, and some experts are forecasting that it will rival the Messiah in popularity. Apparently it is scored for a chamber orchestra and features utterly beautiful soprano arias. It is exciting to realize that some of the old archives are still hiding treasures for future discovery.
Much love, Dick
Heads up, sopranos. New paths to walk.
