Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Always Spring (from Mark Britten CD)
Hey, I played this cd a lot in my office while teaching as a professsor. The students who came in often stopped to listen to it and wanted to know who it was. They were mezmerized by it, which I thought was very impressive, considering the were college students. Took the initiative back then to track down Mark Britten. Got the lyrics and the score from him directly. It was not easy tracking him down. Maybe now it is, but he was surely willing to share. Do remember that he said it was actually an old tune resurrected by him, and if I remember correctly, the author is unknown. Even the vocalist for "Always Spring" is a relative unknown, at least in 02-03. Will dig thru my files to see if I can find the score. It has been ten years tho, so you might be well served to simply seek out his website and correspond directly.
If I find it, I'll repost. I ended up at this blog looking to replace the cd, as my kids seemed to have relocated it permanently SOMEWHERE.
