Sanctus Benedictus (3'20'')

it is unfortunate that this piece did not receive feedback, I listened to several songs of Alexander Gozzo and I think a composer with a good musicality.

I am also interested a the metric scanning of the words.

Thanks in advance

PS

I hope soon to publish a Christmas Agnus Dei and I think useful suggestions in this regard

I like this very much. You have a great sense of harmony, particularly when chords move in a way you don't expect, whilst at the same time the parts are still able to be sung by the choir. I think there is no problem at all with how the words fit the notes, all the rhythms are quite simple and easy to understand. Perhaps the piece finished a little to quickly, but it is part of a mass which has another movement following it. Your music has quite an 'English' feel to it at the beginning; a lot of those harmonies could have been written by Vaughan Williams or Herbert Howells.

You should write out the word 'benedictus' every time it appears rather then put 'simile' - this is just to reassure of the singers in performance. But good job. This will suit a service well.

thx a lot for your nice comment :) :)

ok, no more "simile" ;)

Very interesting sound and harmonies, very good the Ripetition of the note...

And the imitazion between parts in some point.

The rithm it's a littlte difficoultus for the choir
