This piece is gorgously enthralling. I can't wait to hear the rest of your mass. ;)

I like that, despite the moderate tempo, there is so much charge and a sense of movement. also THESE CHORDS

I think you're making me want to write for voice. Can't wait to hear it live!

.. but it's *not* dense, but quite transparent. hugely impressed.

Incredible harmony!  I also appreciate the Bierstadt painting as the thumbnail!  (One of my favourite painters.)
