 SR> Does anyone have a list of all of their "borrowings"?
 
   Well, I certainly don't.  I've been able to pick up on a few, but
 only a few.  John Tout, their keyboard player was a huge fan of the
 Russian masters like Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Borodin,
 Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Shostakovich, etc.  He took a lot of his
 `inspiration' for Renaissance pieces from them as well as others.
 But since they didn't credit their sources, you'd have to be pretty
 well-versed in the classics to identify them all.  You could always
 try doing an internet search.... ??
 
    Cheers,
             Martin
