Well this is a nice piece of work.
Very compelling, and shows you've a knack both for natural setting of text (the conversational bits work well), and for drama.

Your 2nd-y chords do a good job - the chords instantly set the mood upon my listening days after I first heard it.... so they've obviously stuck in my head.
Your melodic and chordal choices throughout are distinctive - which is good.

You might want to watch that you don't thicken the texture too much (at places like pages 15-18, and the place just before the marking CC). Too many, and too thick clusters begin to tire the ear out.

The rhythmic variation and control throughout was good.
I thought it might have been nice to end on a unison, given the subject matter, but oh well! The whole last 'singing in harmony' section was very nice.

Well balanced - I like it, and congratulations on your being chosen for performance!
