My dad died a few weeks ago, and had music requests for his memorial service. I'm trying to run down recordings of--and this is all he wrote--

Psalm 23, Dvorak version
How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place (English translation)

Anyone out there know of recordings suitable, or of a place that can help me locate and order these recordings? I've got time, since it's happening in late August. Now Pop was a musician, and probably thought we'd have a clue, but net searches for recordings frequently leave something to be desired in the description department.

By the way boys and girls, see to it that you have your--or your loved one's--prostate checkup annually. His doc didn't check him, and it had metasticised to bones by the time it was discovered. He hung on for nearly a decade, and bladder cancer finally got him. All in all though, 83 was a fair long life.

Stay healthy, and thanks for any advice on the music.

Dunno if that's the same as the 2nd one you mentioned (How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place) or not.

CD gets a solid 5 stars FWIW.

Kermit:

Search the SongFile database at HarryFox.com for recordings with those songs. Another possibility is a search of the ACE title database at ascap.com
