Wow, this potentially wonderful thread has been dead for so long that I decided to actually post something in hopes of mildly reviving it. I think the shinanigans of earlier are done with.

This fuguette is on the first theme and is for a standard four-voice choir. When I heard the theme, I immediately thought of the text to a Palestrina motet (the one by the same name). So I set it, and the overall form was decided by the text.

The work itself is nothing special, and it certainly doesn't follow strict classical counterpoint. There is even one parallel fifth and a few other classically strict no-nos, but anyone who cares can bite me.

Other than that, I don't actually know what the score looks like as my friend transcribed it for me using notepad (I dislike notation software, at least any I can afford), so I'm not actually sure if the text is even there (or accurate). It's not a big deal, as the midi was generated from the score, but some notes (such as the last few bars in the soprano) only really make sense when one considers that text is involved.

Hope you enjoy, and hope this makes at least some people reinterested in this thread, if even just to comment on how much they hate this piece.
