Thanks so much for giving the music a try – I hope your ensemble enjoys it! This is a great question – I meant for the G# to persist throughout the measure (I’ve never been able to resist dissonance and chromaticism!). But, as always, I respect the director’s right to alter or otherwise make artistic choices for their group; please feel free to alter or edit as needed.

I’m using this arrangement for a small ensemble to sing next month. I love your version and can’t wait to put it all together with the piano and violin! Quick question though: on measures 48, 50, and all others like it where the piano’s treble clef plays an accidental G# in the 8th notes, is it meant to be G# for the entire measure or just the G# at the beginning of each measure and resolving back to G for the others in the measure? I’m assuming it’s a G# the entire measure but wanted to make sure because I wondered if it’d be hard for my SA to hear their G against it for the entire measure or not? Thanks ahead for clearing it up for me.

Thanks so much for the compliments and for taking time to share them! I have a few more pieces to add soon, but what’s on the website is the current depth and breadth of my “output.” Stay tuned…
