His name was familiar, and after a bit of time up bubbled why. In 1943 Samuel Barber set his poem Monks and Raisins (I have observed pink monks eating blue raisins...) for voice and piano. It seems Jennie Tourel gave the premiere. I remember it as a sly text, and though not an easy song, I'll hack at it again this weekend. Thanks Billy for the info - Jay
