Thank you for the listen and comments. Yeah, I sort of evolved the 1st theme as the piece progressed. As a matter of fact I do believe that although it is an antecedent and consequent phrase, the second half--usually at the dominant and ending at the tonic IS missing! I sort of made this 1st theme stick by force of will, and it seems to work, but formally it is a boo boo---and one I didn't repeat with the second theme. Somebody check me on this. To be fair to myself, i was learning Print Music and struggling with getting the VST right while I was beginning this piece---a lot was going on! But yes, formal proportions, phrasing, planning modulations, development, etc.. need to be front and center. When I had a plan things went much smoother and I could concentrate on finer issues of taste, sonics, and asthetics. Thank you for your comments they are helpful. It is all very encouraging. I'm trying to make time to make corrections.

Can anyone tell me how to submit piece?

It sounds like this came straight out of a Bach motet! I especially like how you paid close attention to ever-so-slightly modify the continuo line for the bass to create interest, as Bach would have done. The individual lines too, have a sense of direction, well-defined peaks/troughs, and sings well. You've transformed what could otherwise be a simple chorale harmonisation into convincing polyphony. Well done! Have you composed anything substantial before? I'd love to hear it. Perhaps something without all those pesky soprano and tenor clefs 😛
