Here, my dear fellow,
I am making you a little present of the English lexicon - As to
the vocal items, I think that we should let one of the female
singers, who is going to perform for us, first sing an aria -
then we could have two numbers from the Mass, but with German
words. Do try to hear of someone who could do this translation
for us. The result need not be a masterpiece, provided the words
really fit the music -
Wholly
your
Beethoven
