Sound Matters
If Gary Puckett got a lot by ribbing
Because he hailed from Minnesota’s Hibbing,
I’m sure it was a droplet in the bucket
To what he faced because his name was Puckett.

Herbert Howells (17 October 1892 – 23 February 1983) was an English composer whose choral music is still an important part of the repertoire.
Hang In There
The extreme complexity and difficulty of his Missa Sabrinensis has prevented it becoming widely known. The critic Michael Kennedy , however, considers it one of Howells' finest works. -- adapted from Wikipedia
When faced with this music of Howells,
Some choirs have thrown in their towels
But critics of weight
Have averred that it’s great,
With ardently offered avowals.
