A new motet written in the Baroque manner
With apologies to Herr Bach, I post here a simple motet inspired by the great master.

Bravo!
You need to provide some figures for the organ continuo, however.

Thanks. Yes, I should have either written out the continuo or provide figures. Alas, as no one will ever perform the work (beyond the musecore program itself) I guess I felt the effort would be wasted. However, all the same I should have written out the continuo --- no excuse for laziness (I would have add strings as well, but the font sound is quite poor). In any event, I am glad though (at least I very much hope so) that a few forum members/visitors might find the piece a pleasant diversion.

To hopefully prove I am not a completely lazy slug. For this piece I did write out the continuo -- I should always endeavor to do so.

Again Bravo!
Do you have words for the choir parts?
In reply to Again Bravo! Do you have by ChurchOrganist
Sadly, no, I do not have a libretto/text, I guess for the reasons noted before ----> no one will ever perform the work aside from hearing the Musescore program play it back for me so I did not expend the effort to provide text. However, it would be truly astonishing if one day a digital program such as Musescore could actually sing back text.

Why are you so sure nobody will perform it? Put it up on http://musescore.com find the revelant groups to put it in, share it on facebook/twitter and you never know ! Someone might pick it up for his choir!

Say, that's pretty good! A completely lazy slug, no doubt, would never have expended the effort needed to write it. The only give-aways that Bach didn't really write it, I think, are that the melody lines seem a bit too rambling or discontinuous at times, and the counterpoint isn't as sustained as his usually is. The harmony and the variety of tone colors are excellent, I think. Keep it up!

by best attempt at correcting voicing, cadences and minor issues that bugged me.

Beautifully done, with some humor too. Sounds like an organ choral for the grand organ.
