Something that's been in the works for a long time. It's my second major choral piece, and it's almost exactly as long as my Ave Maria ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1461341/ ). The thing I love about composing for chorus is that the text focuses you and draws you further into the depth of the piece. :)
Anyway -- here's the lyrics if you wanna follow along. The voices are emulated by strings.
(0:00) Magnificat anima mea Dominum et exultavit spiritus meus (x2)
(0:45) in Deo salutari meo. Quia respexit humilitatem
(0:58) ancillae suae ecce enim ex hoc beatam dicent omnes generationes.
(1:17) Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est et sanctum nomen ejus.
(1:34) Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus ejum.
(2:03) Fecit potentiam (x2)
(2:16) In brachio suo dispersit superbos mente cordis sui, mente cordis sui.
(2:42) Deposuit potentes desede et exaltavit humiles. Esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes.
(3:11) Suscepit Israel (repeated)
(3:17) puerum suum recordatus misericordiae suae. Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros
(3:30) Abraham et semini ejus in saecula.
(3:39) Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto
(3:58) Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum
(4:34) Amen (x7)
Enjoy! :)

Wow, this sounds amazing, even if only emulated by strings. What compositional devices did you use? Four part harmony (or counterpoint)?
Silly me, never had a formal music education (taught myself), so I'm just guessing here.
But one thing is sure, it has to be performed! Sadly, the only choirmaster I know well enough to ask to perform a particular piece doesn't have a good choir...
Never-mind, I look forward to hearing more work like this from you.

Thank you so much! :) Most of the piece is written in standard four-part harmony with formal voice leading, it breaks into as many as eight parts - in the gloria patri section - and contains some counterpoint - in the suscepit israel section. I'm hoping to show it to the director of my glee club at college. I also plan on taking a composition seminar here so perhaps more of my work will be able to be performed. :)
Thank you for your kind words! :) Please feel free to browse the gallery -- I love getting comments, even on old work. ^^ And thanks for the watch. ^^

Well, thank you for composing it! Must be cool to have real musicians to be able to talk to and perform your music with (or by them)...
Well old work is as important as new work! And I think that the watch was inevitable, after hearing your music! I'm going through all your gallery,
but my internet isn't exactly fast, I'll hear each piece as they load (the ones I've heard till now sound great, they leave me quite speechless).
I do have a small question if you don't mind, when did you start composing? And if you want to delve into details, how do you compose? (I use my little staffed notebook, or whatever you call those little books with blank staffs on them)

Wow, that's pretty young! For some reason I can never write music at a piano, only from my head right onto paper, sometimes using a broken tennis racket
with three strings to make sure that my rhythms are okay. I hope that's conventional enough.
I started two years ago, I hope I'm doing alright, everything I know about music comes from four old books (treatise on counterpoint (by Sir Ouseley), 2 treatises on harmony (one by Sir Ouseley, one by Rameau) and Berlioz's (later revised and expanded by Richard Strauss) amazing treatise on instrumentation)

Well, I certainly would, as well as another one, called the treatise on fugue by Gedalge, though I've only been able to read a few pages of it, they say it is the definitive book on fugues. I can send you the links to the other three books (don't worry they're all in the public domain), but this other one is only legally found for free in french.
