[78-L] Flemish Choral Music, or, Floundering in Flanders

[David Lennick]

Folks..Flemish and otherwise..this thing is driving me crazy. Even with 3 
reliable sources listing the tracks (although two of them give them in 
alphabetical order of composers names, which helps me not at all) I still don't 
know exactly what is on this album, which came to me without a jacket. David 
Lewis has found one archive listing, Gramophone Magazine printed a review and 
listed everything, a book called Record Ratings listed the contents as it knew 
them, and the labels agree with all the printed material, with a few varied 
spellings. But the record doesn't. Every source gives me 15 titles (as below), 
the labels list 7 tracks on side 1 and 8 on side 2, but the record itself has 
16 tracks. Not a matter of a false spiral, either..there are 16 selections. Up 
to "Gagliarda" (the 12th title listed), I know what's here. From then on I have 
4 titles and 5 tracks, and the first line of what the choir sings doesn't 
audibly show up as the track's title. Does anyone have the correct information?
