Margaret,
If he's still with us, contact David Weber, in NYC. He studied with
Bellison and played in the group. You might See if Stanley and Naomi
Drucker have anything to tell you. They studied with Leon Russianoff
way back when (he studied with B. and was in it too). The official
Bellison archive is in Israel. If any of it is online, you can get
lots of info. I wouldn't be surprised if they have both lists, and
original scores of the Ensemble's music.

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.
