Thank you!  In less than 24 hours, I received exactly the information
I wanted, and more.  E.g., my "Lament" was corrected to "The Plaint: O
Let Me Weep For Ever Weep", I noted with pleasure the earlier form,
"For Ever" instead of our modern 'forever'.  A bit of information for
you:  I have the EL DESEO S.A. CD of "Talk To Her".  Many credits are
listed, but not the singer or orchestra of the Plaint.  Perhaps I have
a different edition...
