Good to hear from you and thanks for the positive comments. Good luck for your piece too - or both pieces, the commission and the conlang one. I've always enjoyed writing for voices - and often with my purely orchestral or chamber music I find myself fitting words - before in English, now more often in Niuspi to the melodies. I'd love to hear some of your stuff. Do have any recordings on the internet? I'll definitely report back on how 'U Tra' goes in Holland - especially if it goes down well. :) Chris =============================== See http://www.geocities.com/jamesworlton/ there are a few MP3 samples (no complete pieces--I have reservations about putting whole works on the web in any format). Good luck on your performance! James W.
