    This is another gem from the late (?) Bud Clark. This is of great usefulness because it's presented with the choice of Latin, or English.

    As I mentioned recently, Bud's later life, when he was confined to a wheelchair, was spent in So. California. Earlier, however, he was at Old Saint Mary's in Cincinnati and some other churches. He valued the efforts of smaller choirs to sing music of high quality. High quality did not, in his estimation, necessarily mean difficult, as this selection illustrates.

    Two other points: First, he never used repeat signs, etc. because he was often working with singers who arrived at the last moment and were sight singing -- complicated road signs could cause terrible collisions! Secondly, he offered his engravings for free if expense was an issue. He wanted them to be sung.
    I'm in the process of shifting around stored digital files. Expect to see a few more of these.
