>are there any solos in Benjamin Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb?

Yes, there are, but I can't recall if they can be excerpted (Is that a word?).
There's one about a cat, I think...which brings to mind some more songs...
"Prayers from the Ark." I've sung these in choral arrangements, but I think
there are solo versions, too. And the composer is Ivor.....Somebody? Does
anyone remember? My favorite is the one about the cat, which starts "Lord, I
am the cat!" (How else?!) Can anyone help? Since I am on sabbatical, I am
working at home and am not near my music library.
