Requiem in d minor
I know there are already so many Requiems in D minor, but I prompted to write another one. Something about the key of D minor makes me feel like it is very suitable for Requiems.
So yeah, I have started only one movement of the Requiem, which is the first part: Requiem aeternam and I combined the Kyrie too.
Requiem aeternam is written in D minor and uses a small romantic orchestra, organ and SATB choir. The texture is mostly homophonic. There is this motive that I will use throughout the requiem, tonic - major 2nd - minor third. The harmony and everything is very conservative (in fact too conservative).
The plans for following movements:
- Requiem
- Lacrymosa
- Pie Jesu
- Offertory
- Sanctus
- Benedictus
- Agnus Dei
- Libera Me
- In Paradisum
So, the question is, should I continue with this piece or should I just abandon it?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

P.S. I wanted to upload a sibelius file but it won't let me, saying "invalid file."
