I Am Alone

I decided I wanted to enter a contest for writing choral music. I thought it was going to be easy, but it's not. The poem I'm using is Alone By Sara Teasdale.  If you want to look at the poem you can find it here. Anyway, because of the poems nature i thought it would be really cool if I could set different sections of the piece in different emotions like you would going through grief.I'm also having trouble developing some of the material. the piece must be 3 to 5 minuets in length. and I've got maybe 1 and a half. So there's that. i feel as if the piece just kind of wanders and is not clear and it's not engaging. But maybe that's because it's all I've been working on and I've heard it too many times. let me know what you think, even if it's how it makes you feel or observations or anything really. 

Thanks

Is the score right??

Anyway it sounds pretty good.

What do you mean? this is the score, the notes are correct it's just played by a piano.ish.sound.

OK, I see. I like it a lot as I said.

I think the sound (piano) is not the best for this. It is very percusive and I don't think it resembles the human voices.

If this is for a contest, I think it's important to know what is the "taste" of it. I mean, do they like tonal music? contemporaty?...

Apart from that, the piece is beautiful.
