Alma Mater

Featured Replies

Hello!

Recently I have talked with my high school's band director about composing an alma mater for our school because we've never had one. I was inspired both lyrically and musically by traditional church hymns (my school is a Christian school). Attached is a first draft of a potential piece and I would love to recieve feedback from y'all about it! I didn't write any percussion yet becuase I'm currently unsure of what I want them doing (they might remain tacit.) Thank you! 

I am not an expert on religious anthems; however, your short work seems to cover all the right notes, feel, and message.....

By the way your posting - I believe should be in the choral section.

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't sure if it would belong there because I was more focused on writing for a band than a choir.
