Perhaps it would not be beyond the pale (sp?) to give credit on a score to the engraver, as well as composer, arr., etc. After all, it is artistry, no?

Hey y’all --

Sorry for the OT post, but I figured it was a happy one so no one would mind.  I was at rehearsal last night, and got curious.  Did anybody on this list engrave the Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem choral score for Oxford University Press?  I’m only curious because I wanted to say thanks and congrats ... it is one of the best-looking, easiest-to-read, neatest choral scores I’ve ever seen.  Which is especially lovely to see considering the difficulty of the actual music.

 Unless it was a Sibelius person ... I don’t subscribe to that list.

I know what public school music has done for me. I have witnessed the journey it has provided my daughter and hundreds of other students I have been fortunate enough to teach. I am both amazed and outraged that there are those who would knowingly disenfranchise generations of humans by excising the practice and inculcation of an entire heritage from our children’s curricula.
