A new tune I composed inspired by "New Age" composers like Yanni, whose music I've long admired. Let me know what you think! Thanks.

Hello everyone! I've been away from the forum for a couple of weeks, we all know times have been crazy... However, I had finished my Sextet for Winds and Piano some time ago, and wanted to share it here. As always, feedback is extremely appreciated. Thank you for listening 🙂

Here my new piece for SATB and Organ. I love singing and religious music, so I decided to write that. Hopelly I can perform it life one day 🙂 Lyrics are not mine, it's and old christian song dedicated to the Virgin Mary, that many composers from the renaissance and later on used in their works. Orlandus Lassus, Palestrina, Michael and Joseph Haydn among many others have compositions on that lyrics. The structure is AB (x2) - C (x2) A and B are 8bar phases with a half cadence in the middle and a perfect cadence at the end. C is a non-regular 7bar phrase ending with a perfect cadence. Here the lyrics with translation: I appreciate your comments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ave, Regina caelorum, Ave, Domina Angelorum: Salve, radix, salve, porta Ex qua mundo lux est orta: Gaude, Virgo gloriosa, Super omnes speciosa, Vale, o valde decora, Et pro nobis Christum exora. Hail, O Queen of Heaven. Hail, O Lady of Angels Hail! thou root, hail! thou gate From whom unto the world a light has arisen: Rejoice, O glorious Virgin, Lovely beyond all others, Farewell, most beautiful maiden, And pray for us to Christ.

The harmony could do with some slight variation. But the melody, it has enough variation that despite the repetition, the melody itself doesn't feel too repetitive. As for varying the harmony, that could be anything from adding chords in between the chords of your loop(Em -> C -> G -> Am is your loop, right?) to adding extensions like sevenths and ninths to some of the chords.
