TO VIEW THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE (2 minutes, 45 seconds), click on one of the following ... but please NOTE: if you don't have a fast internet connection, you may prefer to watch one of the excerpts from the full performance (see *** below) ... even with a fast connection, downloading this may take a bit of patience! (Sorry, but we hope you enjoy it if you do watch it!)
LARGE ----- requires a fast internet connection, or it may take a long time to download
this version!
MEDIUM --- smaller size allows excellent visual quality, and download time is shorter
than "large"
SMALL ----- sort of a "last resort" <grin> ... the audio is identical to that which you'd
hear with "large" or "medium," but the video is very compressed (so
downloading doesn't take as long) ... so the visual quality isn't as
good, but it will at least give you a glimpse!
NOTE: if you don't have it already, you'll need to download a copy of QuickTime(tm)
in order to watch and listen ... you can download it (free) here:
