I do look forward to the same surprise being expressed when someone reads Boulez' utterances a hundred years from now: "Did Boulez really think of himself as a major figure?"

I have now completed a series of uploads to IMSLP (marked below in blue): with the exception of one or two occasional pieces, all of Cowen's extant major choral works are now available in vocal score -

The Rose Maiden (1870)
The Corsair (1876)
Saint Ursula (1881)
Sleeping Beauty (1885)
Ruth (1887)
A Song of Thanksgiving (1888)
St. John's Eve (1889)
The Water-Lily (1892)
The Transfiguration (1895)

Ode to the Passions (1898)
John Gilpin (1904)
He Giveth His Beloved Sleep (1907)
The Veil (1910)


Hopefully, this might facilitate a wider and more informed reassessment of this important area of his output.
