Help finding a Capella contemporary (or modern) classical vocal repertoire!

Hi all! I am a low mezzo-soprano and am looking for some suggestions for interesting contemporary (or modern) a Capella vocal music to put on a recital.

Ideally I would love something with Italian text, but that’s not strictly necessary.

I love playing with extended techniques and I have perfect pitch so the piece can absolutely be challenging, but I need to be able to purchase the sheet music (ideally as digital download) and it can’t keep the singer well above the staff.

I would love to hear any recommendations you all have!

Thanks

How would you approach these harmonics?

The A harmonic is straightforward but I am at a bit of a loss on the D and B, since they written like they should be natural harmonics.
For the B I was planning to play an artificial harmonic with first finger on B (on the G string) to get a harmonic sound at pitch (though that adds a lot of shifting to the passage)

And I am really not sure what to do about the D…

Any thoughts appreciatied!
