Hi Susan A-R,

I'm so glad you started this thread. This topic is one of my favorites also. At the website you mentioned, I'm intrigued with the program and look forward to hearing more about the Brahms, Beethoven, Chopin...oh well, all of them. As far as contacting performers, you might check to see if they have websites with an e-mail link. I know Jay and Molly do. Of course, a personal introduction would be much better.

Here at the Mudcat I've picked up some bits and pieces of info that may add to your project.

What are your favorite Scottish Tunes? I love Bruch's Scottish Fantasy, and Kendall and Murray on Saltspring were king enough to identify the Scottish tunes in it.

Songs to Star of the County Down This is Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Five Variants on Dives and Lazarus."

Can Anyone Help? Several tunes are mentioned here. I still wonder if The Waltz from Rodeo is the same as "I Ride and Old Paint."

Don't forget us. We want updates!

Mary
