"Thank you, Kjell! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
(Also, I don't want to take credit for something I didn't do, so I must confess that the recording is not one of me. Simple computer rendition.) Kjell Prytz said:

"Hi, Ingo!
Thank you for your comment, very kind, as always! Yes, the piece is going to be incorporated into a suite and likely renamed something a bit more exciting than just "prelude."
Hmmm, an orchestral arrangement of this... I think that's a…"

"Ingenious composition, Jörfi, perfectly chosen instrument for this piece. Well played also.
Most interesting choice of chords creating a strong tension. It still vibrates inside me.
A wonderful experience.

"This is an interesting and enjoyable piece Jorfi. It stands well on its own but seems to want to be part of a larger work which is what you are intending so that's good. Modern with eccentric rhythms and dissonance but still accessible. Expressive…"
"I didn't mind the tuba section so much. I do think, however, that the piece needs another countermelody to add some variation, possibly in a related key. Otherwise, the piece is quite charming!"
"Saul, this is exquisitely beautiful. Most impressive!
I think you should cut an album. You've got plenty of music and you play most of it yourself. I'd buy it!"

"This sounds more like the soundtrack of a song than film score. There is a lack of melody here, as if part of the song has been removed and all we're left with is the accompaniment. But I'm not sure it matters all that much, since what we're left…"
"I'll weigh in, too.
The piece seemed to have elements of dissonant counterpoint, particularly the rhythmic "dissonances." I found that interesting.
And in terms of a thought exercise, this piece does wonderfully. On the planes of enjoyment and…"

"Wow, Bruce—thank you so much for the kind words! (And welcome to the forum, by the way!)
I'm very touched that you enjoyed this piece so much. I came across the poem and thought, "How very like our present day events this poem is!" The pandemic, the…"

"Hi Jörfi,
I have just joined the forum and this was one of the first members' works I heard. I've listened several times and I really like this piece. "Tone poem" is a good description as you have described the inspiration from a written poem, and…"

"Oh, you didn't have to go to all this trouble! (Although I'm very glad you did, lol.)
I can't wait to dig into this, hopefully later today!
Cheers,
Jörfi"

"Charming, Ali. I thoroughly enjoyed the quartal harmonies and the fugue (on the diminished 5th?). It was thought-provoking and well-conceived, I thought.
Thanks for sharing."
Thanks for sharing."
"I congratulate you on a nice performance as well as a nice composition. The work seemed to be a blend between classical music and popular music; I could hear elements of both. As a classical composer myself, I personally prefer pieces with more…"
