(EVANGELIST:) Das ist:

Also schrieb Eule...Und hier steht, was sie geschrieben hat:

HIRZ LERZ NUCKWNUESCH UZM BUBU BUGEBU BURZKAT.

Pu sah bewundernd zu.

"Ich schriebe nur gerade 'Herzzzlichen Glueckwunsch'", sagte Eule leichthin.

"Das ist aber schoen lang", sagte Pu, der davon sehr beeindruckt war.

"Na ja, _in Wirklichkeit_ schreibe ich 'Die allerherzzzlichsssten Glueck-
und Segenssswuensche zzzum Geburtssstag.  In Liebe, dein Pu'.  Um so
etwasss Langesss zzzu schreiben braucht man naturgemaeBBB viel Bleistift."

"Aha, verstehe", sagte Pu.

-- _Pu der Baer_, In welchem I-Ah Geburtstag hat und zwei Geschenke bekommt



Another good (but less good) harpsichord-lid motto:
Baritone: "Mene mene tekel upharsin!"
Flutes: "wheewheewhee!"
Trombones of death: "Bumm bumm,"
Chorus: "Thou art weighed in the bal-ance...and found WAAAANT-ing!"

- Belshazzar's Feast


Speaking of the St Matthew Passion, how is that new recording by Harnoncourt?
