This is my first choral piece on this forum. It's a motet with elements (I couldn't make up any better word) from late medieval music and baroque music. The motet is based on the well-known melody "Happy birthday to you". I tried to harmonize it in a very unusual but tonal manner.
The melody moves from one voice to another during the whole song. It visits all the staves. Singers should hum the whole song, except for the melody notes, which should be sung with the text. I hope you understand what I'm talking about...
I'll post first the PDF, then the MIDI and the SIB-file. You can find the lyrics from
