I have written and arranged several pieces for all manner of wind ensembles during my time as an Army bandsman, but I had never ventured into the realm of choral work until now. I'm in the process of transitioning from a career in the military to civilian life, so the text seemed especially appropriate.
 
	Es wird meiner Seele lang 
	zu wohnen bei denen 
	die den Frieden hassen 
	Ich halte Frieden 
	aber wenn Ich rede 
	so fangen sie Krieg an
 
	(Too long have I lived 
	among those who hate peace 
	I am for peace 
	but when I speak 
	they are for war)
 
	I recorded myself on all of the parts. I am admittedly not a real singer (professional tuba player), but it beats midi. 
 
	I'm very interested in what sort of feedback you fine musicians have. I'm not experienced in submitting pieces for competitions or anything, so any advice would be great!
