Ned Rorem - 26 April, 1988
from Lies: A Diary 1986-1999, page 121:
Slight stiffening between me and JH re. his reharmonisation of Come Pure Hearts for the May 11th concert. I feel he's trivialised an already over-accessible tune. He feels my harmonisation is too remote for church hearers. But who hears what? What does he hear?
