Thanks for the suggestion! Today I played through them and some of them are very charming. But funny that "la li Lu", a setting I made for Wayne's site years ago - found it's way into this collection. It's a lullaby and actually taken from a german movie of the 30s - dangerous ground in this context ...
I read the psalms and thought some Vallet could be fine for that occassion, too. Psalms 7 and 140 sound suitable. what do you think? Best wishes Thomas Am Sonntag, 8.
