A stupid question
on: August 11, 2014, 04:50:25 PM
Does anyone here know how to properly pronounce the last name of American composer Christopher Rouse?  I don't know why I can't find this on the internet, but I can't.

Rhymes with "house":

Dima is correct.

My quibble is that it's NOT a stupid question. OP needs to try harder!  >:(
