A quick composition

So I'm now half-done with my goal of completing two choir works this month. I finished in about 2 hours a very small, but I think very pretty arrangement of the simple hymn "Locus Iste". The largest problem for me is, as usual, overcoming the version written in my head by some master. In this case, I took Bruckner's idea and simply put it into my own musical language. I tried to really do more of a re-imagining than starting from scratch. The end result is something that sounds very familiar, but at the same time different. I like the way it sounds. The lovely thing is how the words flow and lend themselves to music so well, but at the same time have a definite rhythmic interest. It's pretty short, and I'll probably upload it to myspace later.
