This has nothing really to do with Ives, but rather with another piece
of modern choral music.  George Perle, one of the renowned modern scholars
of serial composition, wrote a composition called "Sonnets to Orpheus".
The only time I have ever heard it was in a performance by the Queens
College Choir (he teaches at Queens and I had studied under him there).

Does anyone know of a recording of this piece in existence?  I've been
trying to track it down for some time, and my interest was rekindled when
I found a record featuring his works while rummaging through the bins at
Tower.  I recall it being one of the most exquisite pieces of music I have
ever heard.  (Whenever I say that and I get the chance to re-listen to
something, it's not quite what I recall---I hope that isn't the case this
time.)

Thanks in advance for any information.
