Hi!
Here is a song I just finished in Garage Band. It is based on a poem by Emily Dickinson, called "morning". I am doing my best to make good recordings of my orchestral scores. Please feel free to give suggestions!

Lyrics
Will there really be a 'morning'?
Is there such a thing as 'day'?
Could I see it from the mountains,
if I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like waterlilies?
Has it feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries,
of which I have never heard?
Oh, some scholar!
Oh, some sailor!
Oh, some Wise Man from the skies!
Please, tell a little Pilgrim, where the place called 'Morning' lies!
11 Time and Eternity.
This world is not conclusion;
A sequel stands beyond,
Invisible as music,
But positive, as sound.
It beckons and it baffles;
Philolosophies don't know,
And through a riddle, at the last,
Sagacity must go.
To guess it puzzles scholars;
To gain it, men have shown
Contempt of generations,
And crucifixion known.

Oh, some scholar!
Oh, some sailor!

To gain it, men have shown
Contempt of generations,
And crucifixion known.

This sounds good! Did you use some of my ideas yet? The reverb presence sounds more realistic. The strings are a little better, nice harp, good stereo spread. I admit that I do not like the synthesized "choir vox" intrument that you chose, it sounds out of place in an orchestral setting. If you are planning on re-recording sometime with a human-voice choir, and this is a place-holder, then I understand (maybe you can explain your intent in your description.) If you wish it to be just instrumental, and you want an instrument to be the "voice"... maybe a couple of clarinets or clarinet/oboe to carry the meter of hte poem instead? But this sounds much closer to a real orchestra recording... and I like your other choices of instrumentation too. The repetitive melody line is OK, given that it is a poem, but maybe a little more variation would make it more interesting. Those are my thoughts.
ttfn,
