If you are trying out Zem, you sould *by any means possible* check out the works of Shrecker. Try his "Enfanta..." suite on London for starters. On Koch there is his setting of a Walt Whitman poem that is beautiful. Of course, if you really have a hole burning in your wallet there is his opera, "Die Gezeichneten." I like Zem too, but Shrecker patently outdoes him in every way. John (raving to Tom Davey about Shrecker *before* the NYT's said he was good) Smyth
