GIRL IN A TREE - Mastered

I recorded this haunting 4-part round in April 2010 together with my friend Irene Ravitz the day after she (along with her mother and sister) taught it to a group of us at a singing party at my mother's home on Whidbey Island. Since then, it has lived on my blog at https://leifutne.com/2010/04/06/full-moon-outside-my-window-round/. According to a commenter on my blog, it was written in the early 2000s by a student at Oberlin College named Chandler York. Posting it here now to make it easier to share.

The lyrics are:

Full moon outside my window this warm September night
Pulls me into wakefulness far too early.
I’d rather be sleeping, the day’s already too long for me.
I’ll just wait for dawn.

Enjoy!

UPDATE 9/19/2018: According to the composer, Chandler Yorkhall, this tune is actually called "September Moon." I've updated the title to reflect that.
