At any rate, I became familiar with every FW&tP SATB choral arrangement ever published.<br /><br />I didn't know that the singing group was actually formed (at Waring's direction) and trained by Robert Shaw, later better known for highbrow classical choral works rather than schlocky radio hit songs.Douglas2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-473071462853637122017-05-10T16:56:24.684-04:002017-05-10T16:56:24.684-04:00Thermomix?
