My respects to Steve, who has "gotten" many other works that puzzle me,
but I aver that 'Kabir' is one of Rouse's greatest works. Perhaps a
little overextended, but full of thrilling melody and orchestration.
Transporting.
Attend the Cabrillo Music Festival if at all possible to hear Valdine
Anderson present this glorious composition.
