i thank you God

I truely enjoyed listening to this piece. Your melody is very lovely, and I love how the accompinament supports your soloist. Well done! I'd add some pedal markings for the piano...it is quite choppy with the amount of blocked chords you have (yes I understand part of the problem is the MIDI recording. Overall, I'd just say look at your score and try to clean up some of the dynamic/tempo markings-- they sometimes run into either notes, staves, or lyrics, making the music difficult to read. But other than that, I really can't say much else. Again, really nice job!

I loved your use of triplets versus duplets (most of them anyway), but I almost always enjoy any sort of contrasting rhythms. The melody is well written and has great forward motion. The accompaniment supports the melody nicely, but I felt it lacked something, perhaps a little more between vocal phrases to create more drive and movement. It just kinda stops for a bit before picking back up in the next phrase. Thats just my opinion though, overall I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
