Had it not been for a  biography about Gould it would have taken me a hell 
of a lot longer to  discover Alfred Deller. I admit it.  I also admit that I 
might  never have liked listening to Schoenberg had it not been for Gould's 
 enthusiasm. 
So it's "Christmas" and one tends to be a little, well,  sensitive to the 
joys and the sorrows of life and so I offer a little of the  seriousness of 
life via Alfred Deller (forget about the video)  :

20 little children. Such a thing.  So stop singing "Amazing Grace" for 
yourself America and  begin singing some really sorrowful tunes. Why not begin 
now? Now, this  Christmas. Join in, "Let me weep for ever weep". All together 
now - time to  grow up and face yourselves.

Again, without the Gould biography I'd probably never have "found"  Alfred 
Deller - thank you Glen Gold.

Merry  Christmas,
Mary
