The quoted text is blue in my document, but that didn't get preserved when I copied and pasted. No worries! About your Ba-bel Bab-el thing, I would imagine that the singers would hear who sings it first, then pronounce it that way. Strangely, singers are very conformist that way. You might even have trouble getting them to sing it differently. So high in my lovely Ivory Tower of Babel high above the rabble (from the Prologue from "Godspell") So they begat Cain And they begat Abel, Who begat the rabble At the Tow'r of Babel. (from The Begat from "Finian's Rainbow") In both songs, the word is hypenated "Ba-bel" even though in the first instance it is clearly meant to rhyme with "rabble", which I think is a typo. The title in the score is even "Tower of Babble", another typo. Durned Broadway copyists! 8-) Christopher _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
