    Nice!
    One question. You're using flexible meter anyway, so why set the text with the first syllable of "assumpta" on beat one? If you make that syllable a pickup note, then you won't have to add accents to make the syllabic emphasis clear.
    That one change would clear up a lot of issues for directors later in the process. Hard to fix singers singing "AH-sump-ta" when their eyes are telling them two different things.

    so it would definitely be better, I added accents to mark the accent in the word assumpta
