If all goes well, there will be two versions, a low one in D and a higher one in G. The low one is suitable for an alto such as myself, and the high one would be nice for sopranos, tenors (I think) and most instruments.
I'm sticking with MacManus's place names. It's true, for example, that we can't find Murlo today, but there could have been one in 19th century. Also, rhythm and rhyme are hard. Sometimes you just have to make a place up or travel far afield two find a name with just the right sound to fit your poem.
