There's a Dover Score of the fantasia at very reasonable price, coupled
with the triple concerto! Have a look in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for
details. (But the Dover Score uses the soprano clef for the Sopranos -
middle C on the lowest stave line!).
The words are basically a hymn to the efficacy of music <g>.
Coincidentally I have just sung this piece with a small local choir, and
was on the orchestral arrangement committee, so I've been throught the
score carefully.
