Orchestration is completed for verses 1-10 of 11; he will complete the orchestration of verse 11 by the end of 2024.

The May, 2002 Boulder, Colorado USA live performance of the unstaged piano/vocal version may be heard here.

I'm fortunate to have the assistance of a remarkable composer/orchestrator to help me with the orchestration: Daniel Kim. His profile and music are on his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@dankim291 .
My piano/vocal version of the dramatic (staged) oratorio “Ode: Intimations of Immortality,” a setting of Wordsworth's
poem by the same name was performed in May, 2002 in Boulder, Colorado USA.
Although theatres typically want at least two years to plan for a performance, I am hoping we can arrange for a premiere of the fully staged version sometime this year, 2025.
