Another composer contact to add to this environmental thread:

Steve Heitzig
1530 So. Sixth St. C-405
Minneapolis, MN 55454

Not only are many of his works' text environmentally themed, some of his
works also employ simple use of natural objects/elements. He's worked with
many levels of choirs (middle thru professional), done very creative
residencies
in both schools and colleges, is strongly connected to WWF, and writes well
for the voice!
