Ah, Alan Hovhaness. We like a number of his pieces, but our favorite, by far, is "And God Created Great Whales". I (Perri) have even heard it performed in concert (not particularly well--the musicians were fine, but the whales were out of voice that night...). We have a recording (unfortunately we're not sure which recording it is) that we were given by my parents, but we haven't been able to find it for some time. Hopefully it will show up eventually. Other recordings that we've heard of that work are not anywheres as good as the one my parents gave us.
