If you don't want to buy the whole set, then you can buy
The princess Anastasia individually using the link on this page.
A dreamy melody, inflected with flattened 3rds, 6ths and 2nds, is paired with a delicate piano accompaniment representing flickering starlight and glistening tears. The two vocal parts move together throughout, so some security in part-singing is required.
Glossary and pronunciation guide included.
