    Hello, Robert:

    Yes, that's a great part, too, but it's not the one I'm thinking about. Ah, now this is going to drive to drink. When I was in radio, I used to play it. I did classical morning drive, and the scene I am thinking about is about seven minutes long, which was perfect for drive-time music. It takes place place along Sheba's journey. Oh, well, blame it on not having had my porridge this morning.

    Regards,
    Obie

    Obie,
    Now, this is going to drive me crazy too. I wish I was home to pull this from the CD, but could it be "The Dance of Belkis at Dawn"? If not, let me know if you remember (without resorting to drinking )

    My dear Robert:

    That's the one, by Jove. Why couldn't I remember it? I can't tell you how many times I had played that portion on my daily radio program through the years. As I mentioned earlier, it was perfect morning drive-time music for a classical show. Many thanks for jarring my memory. I know I should have had my porridge this morning. Well, as I was trying to recall the piece this afternoon, I found a good excuse to pour a couple extra glasses of wine.

    Robert, my good man, you have quality taste in music. That's a fine and entertaining piece.

    Regards,
    Obie

    For string fans, here's something a little unusual. 4th movt. Hindemith solo viola op. 31 no. 4:

    I'm a big Beethoven fan. My favorite of his has to be his Piano Concerto No.5 & 9th Symphony.

    I also like Vivaldi's The Fours Seasons & Holst's The Planets.

    I don't know about Rhapsody, but iTunes does have it. You can go to iTunes store (under iTunes) and search in the search field and voila.

    Let me know if problems finding it

    Hello, Greg:

    Dance of Belkis at Dawn, from the ballet "Belkis: Queen of Sheba," will not be available by itself on CD. It will be included in the orchestral suite from "Belkis: Queen of Sheba."

    The suite is performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra (a British orchestra) conducted by Geoffry Simon. The CD label is Chandos, but I don't know the number of it. You can get it from Amazon.com.

    The suite is quite charming.

    Regards,
    Obie

    Hello, Otto:

    Yes, that's the recording (on the Chandos label) of the orchestral suite from Belkis: Queen of Sheba. "Dance of Belkis at Dawn" is one of movements in the suite. It's really lush and sexy.

    Now, Belkis is coupled on the recording with "Metamorphseon." That's a different piece by Respighi.

    Regards,
    Obie
