Got Song?

[wavyarms]

I made two mixes this X-mas. One was entitled "Choral Gems of the 20th Century," and it's a collection of some of the more famous classical choral music of (wait for it!) the 20th century. I gave it to stealthmuffin and sigerson. The other was entitled "Music that sen_no_ongaku and/or thomascantor May Not Have Heard: A selection of 20th century choral repertoire." It's a bunch of more obscure yet equally enjoyable choral music of (wait for it! here it comes!) the 20th century.

If anyone would like a copy of either of these two mixes, respond to this post in a comment, and also e-mail me your address. If you don't know my regular e-mail, then we'll work something out. Sending $2 or similar compensation my way for CD and postage would also not be amiss, but is absolutely not necessary.

No problem...but I have to warn you, the semester has begun, I'm snowed under with work, and my cd burner is broke. So you'll get them eventually...but no promises as to when!
