SCORES

...which would bring us back to COURSES, if we're not mindful.

But as long as we're studying SCORES (we rehearsed Brahms' Deutches Requiem this evening!) , let's go from Oh to Ah and

CARESS the music. It truly deserves it.

Choices, choices, choices!

S-->P and get CARPET?
T-->C for SCARCE?
Add an S and get an ACTRESS.
Better still, dress her in SCARLET.

Many would consider it so. It's extremely lyrical, not a standard Requiem Mass at all, being set instead to German texts that Brahms found moving, but is often sung in English translation. He had most of it sketched out and then finally completed it after the death of his mother. You can hear most if not all of the sections on YouTube.

Why not sit down with a glass of CLARET some time and listen to it?

(PS. I see CLARET was a repetition. My bad. I must have meant CARTEL. Yeah, that's right, I meant CARTEL.)

Thanks so much for the YouTube site: I am thoroughly enjoying the Requiem again, for the third time.

It would be heresy to confuse claret with SHERRY.

What does HERESY have in common with PURPLE and SILVER?

But take out an R
And put in an M
And sometimes
It RHYMES !

If you can have a wine-cork, can you also have a TEACORK ?

I don't think you did us any favors introducing the K...

TEACAKE is all I can come up with. Too close, most unsatisfying.
