Epic of Gilgamesh

Does anyone know anything about this piece by Martinu? (NOT the band piece of the same title by Rumbelow...). Is this an opera, a choral oratorio type piece? Anyone played it? When was it composed?

And what does anyone know about Martinu? Is he still alive?

I came across this kind of by accident...via one of my students, actually (how cool is THAT?)
