Carol 2 for SATB

Ok, so still I'm waiting for some reviews for the first carol but here is another one. This time less hymnic, homophonic so I had to do a working translation for you to understand it better. (If anyone feels like doing proper poetic translation or writing english words that will feet the music, please be my guest).

The piece starts with whispers, gossip-like. then the story is told with quick moving notest with chorus in 3/4 - dancing merrily. Starting with bar 31 is the most important part. new chords are introduced, new rhythm, parlando on the word 'oto' which I cannot translate as anything but 'here you are', 'here it is' and then sigh of surprise and admiration. pause, and merry, dancing chorus again.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

The words:

Dzieciątko się narodziło

The baby has been born

Wszystek świat uweseliło

Brought joy to the world

Wesoła nowina

O joyful news

Powiła nam syna

Gave birth to her son

Maryja Maria

Wzięło na się człowieczeństwo

He took humanity

Co pokryło jego b

I like this. The 8th note part section, I did not find to sound very good, but I think that when sung, it would sound a lot better. That is not really critique, because I also use midi's and they don't do any justice to a peice. I liked your chord progressions; especially in m. 31 and the last two measures. I think you should put more of these places into this peice, because I found them more interesting than the other sections (though those weren't uninteresting - just not as much so). I'm looking forward to the next two. Keep it up!
