Peter, you may be right about me reading too much Berlioz. Only today I confess to buying a recording of the Berlioz 'Te Deum' (Op.22) - LSO/LP Choir/European Youth Orchestra etc. and with Claudio Abbado conducting. (It's on DG). That work is some 45 minutes long and I don't know it at all. I'm looking at large scale works these days. That's why I was recently looking closely at words chosen by Beethoven in his 9th Symphony. Thanks anyway.
