    Behold the Bread of Angels, become the food of the pilgrims: truly the bread of the sons, which cannot be thrown to the dogs.


    Thoughts on the vowel placements in the first phrase? With the top two voices ending on "nis" and the bottom voice on "pa" ... clash too much? I'd like to keep the cantus firmus (third voice at the beginning) pure, without relocating vowels or adding notes, but that placement of the text seems most natural for the top two voices. Do the nis and pa sounds clash too much at a minor cadence like that?

    No input? I guess Baptist choir trees are more interesting.

    Well, Ryan, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I have trouble with beginning such a thing on what must be interpreted as a dominant 13th in inversion, given the final chord. So I don't even get to the consideration of the vowels....

    And you know my thing about tuning, bar 8, you are asking (imho) the basses to tune high on one beat and tune low the same note on another beat.
