Only the darkness heard him.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The strength of a musical rhapsody is in the variety of inspiration that brought it into being, and the talents of the musicians who make it come alive. Please take a moment to acknowledge the orchestra:
Richard Curtis, agent, artist, and music aficionado extraordinaire, who believed in my song before anyone else, even I, did. Without him there would be no book.
My excellent editor, James Minz, the conductor who knows the tune better than I do, and all the wonderful people at Tor.
The concertmasters, T. L. Evans and W. J. Ralbovsky, for their help and friendship at the very beginning, the most trying of rehearsal periods.
The reviewers, Rebecca Mayr, Sharon Harris, Jennifer Roberson, and Anne McCaffrey, who listened in on dress rehearsal and pointed out some rough passages before opening night.
Robert J. Becker, for his cartogeographic calculations and geological expertise.
Norma J. Coney, for her knowledge of all things herbal and floral.
Luis Royo, for his extraordinary cover art, and Ed Gazsi, for his beautiful maps.
Helen M. Kahny, for her expert understanding of medieval music in general and the Guido scale in particular, as well as everything else she has given me.
Professor Wilhelm Nicolaisen, for expanding my love of folklore and showing me how to read its secrets.
And last, and most, my husband and children, my unflaggingly loyal patrons and captive audience.
Heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you, one and all. Please take a bow.
