Hi all,

This is the arrangement of my children's song Sing It Loud for SATB (previously posted).  I usually do not compose choral works (Although - I have a few) so all comments/feedback especially the engraving is appreciated.

So all you choir people - let me know what you think.

For fun, I put a .PDF of the score in Microsoft's Copilot (AI) and asked for an analysis - it gave me a complete review of the work.  It was kinda cool ... brought to my attention a couple of measures needing improved counterpoint etc.  As well as general info on composing for SATB.  For the most part it gave me a decent review.  What a world!

PS: For those interested here's the work with some improved counterpoint.

Hey Mark @MJFOBOE!

I love this song!  I love the words, key changes and counterpoint between the various different voices of the choir!  It'll probably be a lot of fun to sing for any future choir that might undertake a performance!  Great job!  The only thing that bothers me is a little nit-pick about how you notated the following rhythm:
