I bring you a new piece!

Beautiful! I love the Ab major to C major movement, it occurs multiple times in the piece, so for seems like a very good choice to end on. The canonic - as well as the rhythmic elements give the music a real sense of drive. Last but not least, this rendition is really remarkable, especially given the circumstances!

Thank you for writing this piece. You've really managed to create a dark, 'last waltz' kind of feeling and atmosphere. The combination of oboe and guitar adds to this feeling I think. I am no expert on writing for guitar, so maybe someone else will have something useful to say on this. What I do feel would add to the intensity of the piece is a contrasting middle section. Right now it is only dark, and I think contrasting it with something else (rhytmically, melodically, or harmonically) will bring out your intentions with the piece even more. Example of this (contrast starts at around 1:20):

Very true. As a medium it's a communication.

I read the post before you "deleted" it. I thought it was on point. Well said, @Left Unexplained.

woah. First ima give props to whoever set that up because it sounded very good. Secondly, this sounded hella fun to sing. It’s a shame it won’t be sung for a long time with the way choirs are going. But this has all of the best parts of traditional orthodox music (low bass parts, melody in the soprano and alto with a descant in the tenor. As well as the cool changes throughout. I want to sing it now lol. Also I love the song choice, choosing bogoroditse, which is a beautiful text I think everyone loves. Gorgeous.
