Thank you ... very interesting. That would put 3 min. at $1275.00 ...
seems a little steep to me, but good to know.
Thanks again,
Dean

20 singers,
lasting about 3 minutes? I told the person wanting
the work that I
honestly didn't know what to ask, but that I'd look
around ... hence,
this message. She supposed that something between
$500 and a grand
might be a reasonable range ... what say ye?
In Canada the rate would be $425 per minute:

So far tranquillo ogni turbato core,
Et or di nobil ira et or d'amore
Poss'infiammar le più gelate menti.
