The objective is to do as much as I can to give the listener something new with the melody instead of the usual, breathe-on-four type of boring choir singing that so many hear... though not on this forum.

Please tell me if there is any issue with chords, formatting, or anything in general!

*Note- I don't like the two-staff format that I have this in, but my teacher requires it of me.*

I really like the harmonies and the resulting timbre but not the order in which they appear. The last third in particular is filled with appear to be random transitions and directional "fakes" (to use a term from Basketball).
