So, now that a few months have passed since I last composed any real music I am starting to itch a little bit. I've started singing again and I'd like to try my hand at real choir music. I'm just having a hard time deciding whether I should try my own hand at lyrics or use other people's poems. Does anybody know how author rights and stuff like that work in Iceland? Does the poet have to be dead for how many decades before their stuff is considered commonwealth?
Anyway, I seriously enjoy stuff like this:
First download link! (It says VoxFox - Riddarinn rauði.)
Click it, you won't regret it. It's composed by a guy a few years older than me back in 2005. Some of you Icelanders might have heard it performed by only girl choirs but oh well. I love it.
So, do you Icelander have any poets you recommend that have been dead for the appropriate amount of time?
In other news: I get my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow morning! Yay for that!
