Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

Is this a Halloween piece? I'm not sure, but the poem, one of Wilfred Owen's strangest, says it's being sung by a ghost. My musical setting here is one of my orchestral ones.

The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and sets them to original music in differing styles. We've done over 750 of these combinations, and you can hear all of them and read short accounts of our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
