        Okay, it may just be that I always have something else on when I
come to consider this question but I can't work out which HW song you
mean. I know the Holst well enough, maybe too well and I can't bend it
sufficiently? Which do you mean? Yours,

_Undisclosed Files_ when he has money again)
