>"Orpheus with his Lute" by William Schuman (NOT Robert Schumann) comes in
>two versions - one is as a single song, the other is in his work IN SWEET
>MUSIC: SERENADE ON A SETTING OF SHAKESPEARE, which is a work for voice,
>flute, viola, and harp, based on the song. Schuman used the song again in
>his A SONG OF ORPHEUS, which is a "Fantasy for Cello and Orchestra".
The Schuman song also has a stunning cameo appearance in Christopher
Rouse's Cello Concerto. I know you're pressed for time now, but maybe when
things settle down (ha ha) you could take a listen. It's an amazing piece.
