Annie Patterson. Ursula K. LeGuin.

If you're like me, these names appear on the covers of books that you own and cherish.

So, it's pretty nifty to see them appear together, as they do in the liner notes to Annie's new CD — right next to my name. That's right, Annie Patterson, co-editor of Rise Up Singing, has, with permission from Ursula and her publisher (and me), recorded my round setting of the verse of "The Creation of Eä" which appears on the frontispiece of A Wizard of Earthsea.

I haven't heard the recording myself yet, but I'm told it's lovely. Needless to say, I'm very excited. What with this and being nominated for a Peggy, it's starting to look like I am, in my own small way, hitting the big time.

I will chime in with everyone else to say it's one of my favorite rounds, too. Go you!

Wonderful news! But now you've gone and got the round stuck in my head, and there's no one here to sing it with me :-( Time to beg Jillian to come visit my office again, or brave Sharples and hope they're not serving Crunchy Cod today.
