Congrats on the performance. You will let us know how it goes? I, too
have a world premiere coming up in the fall (no date set yet), a
commission from the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham
Young University for a setting of 3 poems by American poet Alice Fulton
(soprano and chamber ensemble). Got to finish writing it first...

Excellent. I have had the same idea for Orēlynna, and am working
sporadically on a men's chorus setting of an original text (no
performance group lined up, though). It's good to see composers writing
more than just notes these days! :)
