However, excellent pitch and movement. On the other hand, the expressions resembled a Mozart or Haydn motet. Do remember that High Renaissance Polyphony has its own interior expressions built into the 'rise and fall' of each line (after the pattern of Gregorian Meolodies). There is no need for the over use of crescendi and decrescendi; let the text instruct your musical emphases and sforzandi, e.g. Lauda=praise, therefore this might be stronger than 'Sion'.
I do hope this helps with your preparation for your next competition.
