Seasons Greetings all!

Here's a little something I'm cooking up for a concert next year. 
It's based on the Epitaph of Seikilos, which is the earliest surviving complete song.

I tried to give it a flavour of Antiquity, and to create unexpected harmonies.
Haven't come up with lyrics yet; though it will start with the original Ancient Greek text translated into English.

Maybe my piano part is a bit too thin? Or perhaps I should keep it sparse? 

The notation is intended for midi, and I'll be adjusting the dynamics upwards by at least one degree for the musicians.
When I make the final score, I'm intending to write out the spread stacked chords in full as arpeggios.
