Choral in FM

I wrote a piece for SATB Choir with a Rondo form ABACABA.

It has no lyrics yet, so if somebody like it and want to collaborate in adding some lyrics, please let me know, I'm not good at writing lyrics 😅...

I just wrote it in piano staff, once I have some text I'll write it properly for SATB voices. 

Any comments are also wellcome.  

Your choral works are always astonishing and refreshing! I do not have many coments to say because it sounds beautiful to me. Regarding the lyrics, I would be pleased to help but I fear that my skills are very bad, so for the best of everybody, proably a more skilled person than I would be the ideal. Anyways, another great piece by you! 

Thanks a lot for your comments and interest, I'm happy you like that...Writing lyrics is always difficult for me. 

Gracias Hendrik 😉 

Yess for me aswell lyrics are difficult, people say that you need to write with the lyrics in mind but I always write first the piece and then try to fit the lyrics on the piece...

Dont worry proably the lyrics will come one day :)

It's normally easier to go in with lyrics (you didn't hear that from me, though; I always write music first, then lyrics), but if you want to have a complete choral unit, it's not a bad thing to have something to go off of first.

I totally aggre with you, with lyrics first you can fit rythm and phrasing accordingly, and maybe more important the character of the piece.

Also important the climax and cadence can be done accordingly with the text. I'm collaborating with a Poet right know, who is writing the lyrics to one of my pieces and I'm being more aware of the links between music and words. 

Usually I have and idea about the topic of the text when I write a piece to be sung, but in that case I have no idea...

A brief look into metrical feet should help. Unfortunately, there are such terms as "iamb" which is short - LONG, which sounds like, to us musicians, an anacrusis to the downbeat, but in actuality is its own thing. But knowing how poets mince words is helpful.

Very nice work, it doesn' matter it has no lyrics. I also think it's easier starting with the text.
