I will have to cop to some less than stellar craftsmanship in my documentation. I'm going to abuse the melismas something fierce (I think I've got as many as four notes to one syllable in some places) to get everything to line up. Also, I insert two new bars of music that are copies of an "F-G-a" rising run in the original (at the end of the b(open) line). I do maintain the b(open) and b(closed) style.
Once I've practiced it enough to be mostly comfortable, I may experiment with a podcast. At this stage, I'm committed to this music for this composition, but if the "almost but not quite" nature of it makes your ears bleed, I would appreciate that feedback so that I know not to do it in the future. Mi contra fa - not every performance decision that I make will be the right one.
