Piano piece I made a little bit ago. Nothing fancy. Let me know your thoughts!

It's been a strange year, hasn't it? What with the pandemic, nobody was singing my choral music, so I got some friends together online and organized my own performance! (Plus I had always wanted to write a Halloween choir piece, but choir directors were always like "nah, we'd rather spend October rehearsing Christmas music.") I wrote this fairly straightforward piece as sort of a proof of concept, and originally released it back in October. Honestly, I probably spent as much time (or more) mixing the audio as I did writing the music. Turns out it's difficult to get 17 singers--all singing with different recording equipment in different acoustics different distances away from the mic--to sound like they're all in the same room! So I'm especially curious if anyone has feedback or tips on the mix.

Oops! Sorry about that. I spotted the error in bar 10 - the high G#. Can't let that go without putting in right. (Hence it's always useful having a chance to practice input from a score!) Here, the corrected files: It's an accomplished work. Here's hoping you can have it performed live.

The title is very appropriate for this piece. I feel like it portrays the melting ice really well especially in the last decrescendo. The 3rds in the high register sound like dripping icicles. Sounds like music that would be perfect for an icy cave in some kind of RPG. Maybe some reverb would help that impression too though. Great job!

Yes, it creates quite special atmosphere.

Original Hymn I wrote and PaperComposer transcribed. Enjoy

Nice job! The end sounds like after the choir ends there could be a faster denouement for just the strings and oboe and continuo. I don't know if that's common for pieces like this to end that way - maybe I heard an ending like that somewhere in the Baroque era before? I enjoyed listening so thanks for sharing!
