YAVAR -- HELP ME ! ! !
Although I'm very glad to have the von Bingen CD, it is a solo voice album, and I don't think it has the particular Ave Maria o auctrix site you shared with us. The Youtube recording is not identified by album or performer. I'm having a great difficulty sorting through the multiplicity of von Bingen CD's out there. Can you please tell me at least one which has the same full-choral version as the beautiful one beard on Youtube.
Help me, Yavar Wan Kanobi, you're my only hope...

Well, I didn't upload it and I don't own the recording the YouTube version was from, but the Shazam app on my phone identifies it as a recording by Heather Knutson. This seems like it might be the right track:

Duly ordered on used CD for $1.20 plus shipping. Profound spiritual uplift, dirt cheap...
Thanks so much!

I'm probably the only one here whose list of Goldsmith favorites includes LILIES OF THE FIELD. It may mot qualify as one of his "greatest," which is why I call it a "favorite" in this context, and -- forgive me, Havar -- it's at least 50% based on the tune of Jester Hairston's "Amen" spiritual, but it'll always be dear to my heart. I had just started falling in love with the music of JG (and Morton Stervens) on the THRILLER! TV series, and was delighted to see his name on the big screen main titles. And I was thrilled when, after many months of hoping, I finally saw that it was in the soundtrack LP section of my local record store -- the very first Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack album, unless I'm mistaken. Above all, simply, it's wonderful music, terrific Americana, and I never tire of listening to it to this day.
It is one of my favorites too.

How can one say what that's worth, Onya, if you don't tell us why you don't like it?
Ditto why you don't like LILIES, (for what it's worth)?

Rory, what happens when you don't do your sister's bidding -- does she beat you up?

Thank you, Onya, having read that post (and its link to your previous thread), I think I do understand where you're coming from vis vis Goldsmith's gentler, lyrical and poetic efforts. (BTW, for future reference, "long hair" traditionally is slang for ALL classical concert music, not just the dissonant moderns.) Reading about your penchant for jazzy/angular scores, I can see why you might have said "I have no interest in" PATCH OF BLUE, rather than "I don't like it," but that's splitting (long) hairs. Me, I love BOTH musical moods, not only in Goldsmith but in all worthy composers, and see no need to listen to just one to the exclusion of the other. There's a time and a place for everything, as they say. And as Duke Ellington -- a guy who knew from jazzy and from lyrical -- said, "There's only two kinds of music -- the good kind, and the other kind."
