I vow to you, my country all earthly things above Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love The love that asks no question The love that stands the test That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best The love that never falters The love that pays the price The love that makes undau

Now for my choir nerd to kick in. My fist suggestion to you is expression. This is a very emotional song. From the few people I see in this, I don't see much of it, though some are trying deffinately. Pour your souls in girls, because it makes all the difference in the world. Second, dynamics: a b

the middles are getting buried by the sopranos though. same thing happens in my choir.
haha.
although the sopranos need to tone it down because I couldn't really hear the altos. And I agree with everyone else. You all look dead. Look alive ladies. And that final cord needs more alto one and two. Also you don't need to move your jaws so much, you're not chewing anything. Sopranos also needed to let some of those parts just float. Okay I'm done critiquing. I just sang this piece. We had a band play along with us. Total instruments: piano,trumpet,trombone,tuba,percussion.
