Music Composers Unite!
In the past I've been reluctant to post vocal pieces on this forum, since I can only offer software-generated synth voices in the audio files, which I think are a greater obstacle to imagining a performance than are software-generated instrumentals. But some of the vocal pieces I've posted here have gotten comments, which I greatly appreciate, so since I'm currently composing a number of new or revised vocal pieces, I thought I would share some others.
Some of my songs are created by matching traditional melodies to lyrics by myself or others. This one is a rather unusual example, since the melody is a little known traditional American sailors' song called "The Flying Cloud" -- something that might not seem a promising setting for an A. E. Housman poem. But I think the melody actually matches the verses quite well.
Comments always welcome, even if some time has passed since this posting.

Very well done Jon. Not every day we hear a baritone in such a work as this. I really have no comments to add other than the same as I said in the last post. A shame we can't hear someone singing it since I think it would make all the difference in the world.
Thanks, glad you liked it. If I ever get a recorded performance, I'll post a link to it here.
