Very pretty. Setting poetry is tough, and this works well!
Hi David,

Thanks for finding the time to drop in. I appreciate your visit and your comments. It is lucky for me that Natalie is a very well trained singer whose ability to breathe is unparalleled smile On a more serious note, though, prior to passing the song over to Natalie, I made sure that it was possible to map breathing locations at appropriate times. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I did a recording of me singing it originally, and too get through the long phrases, all I needed to do was to have the old-fashioned breath marks notated on the lyrics. t was an interesting exercise collaborating with EBB. I enjoyed the experience!

Thanks again for your listen and comments.
--Noel
