Thanks for this. Wonderful? But what is that lyric as the beginning -- sung by Wynn Murray? It's supposed to be "she is a courtesan on wings," but that word does not sound like "courtesan."

She's singing "courtesan," but she's singing a different pronunciation of the first syllable than we're used to, with the same vowel heard in Larry Kert's last name. Which Merriam-Webster does list as an alternate pronunciation of courtesan.
