A short composition for a short poem - Robert Frost's Fire and Ice set to SATB chorus. Still some tweaking I guess but for the most part this is the big idea. Go ahead and tear me a new one when commenting, I'd like a wide range of opinions on what to change in the piece if anything. Two things though: I couldn't make lyrics go above the staff and below the staff for the two divisis (like in the bass around m. 24 or so) but I know I'm supposed to, and yes there are parallel 5ths - they are completely intentional and functional and most importantly not changing.
So have at it like a pack of rabid wolves if you please.
EDIT: I've taken all the commentary into consideration and revised the piece thusly. A lot of it is unchanged, and yet again some parts were totally reworked. Huzzah! Score and finale audio added below:
