She has done a lot of poetry to music, my favorite is her setting of "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes which is also a long epic poem.

Have you heard the Phil Ochs version?

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to listen!

I already have one additional poem-song completed (an Auden poem) so hopefully I'll release a follow-up at some point.

I had not. I gave it a listen and I honestly didn't care for it, but I'm fairly sure that's because Loreena's version is so ingrained in me, Phil's version sounded "off" to me

but thanks for sharing!

Nice job on the EP. Even though I did my own version of Yeats'
When You are Old" I really like your version!

Thanks for listening! Yeah, I remember you mentioned you did a version of "When You Are Old" when I posted a rough recording of it last winter.

Anyways, it's also up on Spotify now.
