I'm in shock. Did I give Vista 'carte blanche' to label my CD's?  From Microsoft's perspective, yes. They think we are a bunch of morons whose whole aim and purpose in life is to gratefully and gleefully accept with adulation the limited series of so-called 'choices' their inferior operating system gives us. Another example of where MS knows what's best for you: Stupid Vista when importing photos from an Olympus camera I owned, chose to overwrite the Olympus data markers at the start of the files that identified them as panorama photos to be stitched together in the Olympus software, with Vista's information telling Vista where it had imported them to on the Hard Drive. It also corrupted a whole lot of photos when moving them from one USB device to another. I hate Vista. "What's best for M&M enterprises is best for the Army" - Milo Minderbinder, Catch 22.

Perhaps it's time to drag out the old Vista installation tutorial again. Probably any of you who are having problems didn't install it correctly.

Ohhhhhhh, thank you for that link, Branshea!! [heart e]
EDIT: I love the internet!!! I found that I could print out the sheet music--free, and legally! I'm really hoping our choir director will let us do it. And may I ask if someone could verify that this translation I found is correct, please?

Yes. It is an accurate translation.

Oh!? Good! Could you tell me how you did that printing, Jackie? It might fit in with my limited piano skills. I couldn't find out how to print this.

This is Psalm 42:1, Jackie. Here's the King James: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Our director prefers the Howells version, which I have to say I do like. We sing Howells quite a bit. :0)

Yes, I knew from research that it was Psalm 42; part of it, rather. But Psalm 42 has many more words than that one sentence, and the only Latin I recognized was Deus.
Thanks, zmjezhd. One more question, please? Is it a hard c or a soft c, in cervus? I'm guessing hard; if so, is it care-voos or curve-oos? Er, p'raps I'd better ask which one is closer to correct?
Branny, I googled Sicut cervus sheet music. I got lots of sites where you could print it out, but if you can't find one, holler and I'll get you one. Sounds like our piano-playing skills might be about on a par with each other. (About the same.)

It'd be hard /k/ if it were Classical Latin (round about Cicero's time), but this is Palestrina in the 16th century, and you're in Kentucky, IIRC. I'd go with Ecclesiastical pronunciation. Treat it like Italian. SEEKoot CHERvoos, etc. (For the record, Classical would be /'kerwus/.

Now I have a question, zmjezhd! I never took any Latin, but we sing in Latin quite frequently, and the "linguists" there always say that "church Latin" is different from Classical Latin. If we were singing "cervus", I think it would be pronounced "sair voos". Is that incorrect? Is there a website that explains the different Latin pronunciations? Who really knows for sure, since it's a dead language? Oops, that's more than "a question", but I hope you don't mind... :0)
