Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan (WIP)

It been a while since I have posted anything for feedback. So here's the start of a harmonization on the chorale tune "Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan" that I started. So far I only did the first part of the tune. Any feedback is welcomed!

Hi @Guardian25,

The counterpoint and voice leading here look fluent for me, nice job on that. I check the tune and it starts with a D rather than a E. Do you change it with particular reason? Also maybe you can try Bach's way to quote the diminution of the tune to the florid alto clef part too!

That was an error! It does start with a D instead of an E, I have made an update reflecting that change as well as my attempt at the rest of the tune. I also did not considered using diminutions of the main tune, that will have to be something I consider when I try future harmonizations! Thanks for that idea!

I listened to the corrected version - great job!  I find all the lines well thought out and logical.  The modulation in the middle is also lucid.  Very beautiful music!  Thanks for sharing.
