I'm a big fan of patterns and form, and I'm always listening for these in music. I found the pattern of four notes and a rest here appealing, even lulling and hypnotic, and I think I know what you were going for. I agree with both of the previous posters, however, that adding variety with the the judicious use of dynamics would add greatly to the effectiveness of the piece. I saw in your reply to Gustav that you are happy to have him add dynamics at his discretion. Was that your intention all along? If so, I can certainly understand that. I see also in your catalogue here that many of your works are for solo instruments unaccompanied, and I find this intriguing. Is there a particular reason why you prefer this? Listening to interesting pieces for solo instrument like this make me want to try it myself!

Tenor goes a bit high in some places and you force the bass to make a 7th and a 6th jump, which in this time period are considered a little bit extraneous. Now, they're okay, but the AP test would mark you down for that. Measure 12 has a parallel 5ths in the 2nd beat. Fix that. Measure 13 has crossed voices between alto and tenor. Measure 9 has parallel 5ths between soprano and tenor. Measure 15 uses a cross beat voice which you can't do in this era either. Measure 7 be careful about omitting the 5th with a suspension. I might look again later with more time. I don't know what you meant by the fermata. Cheers!
