Longshot Classical Music Request. Does anyone have Sophia Gubaidulina's Offertorium? I wanted to use it for a class project, and Amazon's holiday shipping frenzy means I may not get it till after the project is due. →[More:] (I suppose this is why they make music stores, but I can't say Gubaidulina was well represented last time I looked.)

Yeah, looks like MSN and iTunes both have a bunch of versions by other people, but not the one you're looking for. :(

Ah, but eMusic has it!

It's a huge-ass file. I'll download it and YSI, but it will take a while.

Yeah, it's a 30-something-minute piece.

Thank you so much!

Does eMusic still do the free trial where you can download a few tracks? Maybe Occhi could get it that way?

One day, I'm going to get someone to teach me how to use all these various music services. I don't know why I have such a hard time with them, but it's impinging on my geekdom. As well as my musical exploration.

Here it is, occhiblu. (Zip file.)

I think eMusic does still have a free trial, but it's one of those things where you have to download software AND give them your credit card, then cancel before the subscription actually starts. No point in doing that -- it was just as easy for me to do it.

You, my dear, rock.
