Yes, and several puns on ground--the sweetest ground is set as an inversion, first forwards, then backwards in the bass. "For no ground else" is set in a stretto. "as the same" repeats the "same" notes up a third "So sounds my muse"--the interval of a fifth, repeated. The fifth muse is Melpomene, who you might think is the muse of tragedy but she is also the muse of singing, and one invokes Melpomene to create lyric verses. "report" an old meaning for report is a point of imitation.
And so on--there are a few more :) dt At 07:53 PM 3/16/2011, you wrote: >Yeah, that one I caught - all the word painting on high and low, as >well. It's a fun piece.
