Great news, friends: "Dulce Et Decorum Est" was just awarded Honorable Mention in the 2009 ASCAP/Lotte Lehmann Foundation Art Song Competition! You can hear the sensational, young baritone, Mark Whatley, singing the piece on my website here: http://www.aaronalon.com/works/dulce/ind ex.html

Dulce et Decorum Est was commissioned by baritone Colm Estridge. As one of the most powerful anti-war poems in the English language, Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est" reminds us of what is truly at stake in war, of the true horrors that are hidden in the daily statistics. ...
