John, i just rifled through all my sheet music, but i'm sorry to say i no longer own a copy of barcarole. this should help though: it's from the opera _Les_Contes_D'Hoffmann_ by offenbach, act two. Alternate title (and first words) is "Belle nuit".

good luck!
emily

Thanks Emily, the alternative spelling is helpful, but I still can't find it at my normal libretto sites.

Thanks for your help,
John
