this is staggering. i see a lot of SATB youtube videos, and they tend to blur together, but not this. such distinction, creativity, unexpected choices, music serves text so well. and you wrote this when you were 20? that's the silliest part: to have such a unique, interesting, thoughtful style at that age is insane. i'm obsessed with this piece. well done

Uniqueness is the easiest part of being a composer, literally anyone can be "unique" if they want to. The challenge comes in making good, coherent music along the way, which they fail to.
