Wikipedia tells me there is a composer John Gerrish who wrote a choir piece called The Falcon based on the Corpus Christi Carol. He was born in Potsdam, New York.
Further: Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg played the music to the Rock opera "The mystery of Time" - studios at Potsdam-Babelsberg. Is there an opera or musical about Aloïse Corbaz?

Gotta log off, close friends had a baby this morning at the hospital down the road and dad is about to arrive for a quick night's sleep at Caliban Towers before returning to the fray at dawn! Whisky needs to be taken by way of a night-cap / baby's-head-moistener!
