I first heard snatches of a hauntingly beautiful piece of music on my local classical music station. After inquiry I was told it was from Through the Looking Glass by Deems Taylor, a composer early in the 20th century, but was probably no longer available. Wrong! I found it immediately on Amazon. The accompanying piece, Pleasure Dome of the Kubla Khan by Charles Griffes, also a 20th century composer, is equally exquisite. The album is a real treasure - and still available through Amazon!
