Yes, thanks Karen for some of those leads which were unknown to me, such as the Hilliard piece. The various operas based on his writing are no real use to me for a recital but it is interesting to think how many composers and creators drew inspiration from him. And seem to continue to do so. I recently read a bestselling South African novel, Coetzee's "Disgrace",in which the hero is trying to write a chamber opera about Byron in Italy...
Merry Christmas!
