Thank you, Leightwing. I did meet a bass once who could actually go all the way down to the F, a fourth BELOW that Bb (No kidding, I stood there and watched him do it), and I wrote that in because I thought that perhaps if there were even ONE guy like him in a choir, who could hit it, then it would sound simply awesome. I guess there just aren't many out there. It still sounds alright without the note, however.

On the subject of tempo, if I was conducting it, I would probably move it along in some places a little faster than written, and add a lot of rubato that's not heard in the MIDI. It's hard to electronically simulate the level of expression that I intended for this piece. It certainly wasn't intended to "plod" along at one tempo the whole time. I don't have specific marks for it to accel. or ritard., because I want that part to be open to a little interpretation. I can't wait to go to college and begin my major in Composition, so I can possibly have this piece performed (and perhaps even conduct it myself).

Thanks to everyone again for all the comments and the help! I really appreciate it!

-Adam
