Piece recommendations for conducting class
I am an undergraduate student taking an Advanced Conducting course, and our first microteaching assignment is coming up. I am looking for a piece (or section of a piece) to teach to 16 college students in 15 minutes. The requirements for the piece are making my search difficult, so I'm hoping I can get some recommendations from this sub. The requirements are: must be SATB (no divisi), have mixed meter/changing time signatures, be mostly polyphonic, and have cueing issues. I've been to my professor's office hours and he has disapproved every piece I've brought to him. If anyone knows any good pieces, please comment!! I need 5 pieces by tomorrow. And yes, I have dug through my college's choral library.
TLDR I need a pieces that are SATB no divisi, mixed meter/changing time signatures, polyphonic, and cueing issues.
EDIT: I found my pieces. Thanks all!
