YES

The director of my school's choir, who is also the Music Theory teacher, has made this promise: if I compose a choral arrangement that is recognizable as the Jaws theme song and is "good enough" (basically that it doesn't sound terrible, and it's singable), then our school choir will sing it.

Two other people are involved in this project to varying degrees. We are studying 18th century voice leading in class at the moment, and my arrangement will follow those practices within reason, to the extent that I can. I also will be most likely ignoring the other parts in the song other than the recognizable bass line.

This market will resolve to yes if I compose a choral arrangement that meets my teacher's specifications before the end of the block. If it becomes impossible for the choir to sing it due to time, etc., but it is expressed that we would have sung it if we could have, then this market will still resolve to yes.

Edited 1/30/23 to clarify: to resolve yes in the event that the piece does not get sung, it must have been singable with enough time. As in, if the piece is outside of the vocal ranges, etc. of the choir, then I have failed because the score was the problem, not time.

I showed it to my music theory teacher, and she thought it was great, and agreed that I wrote it within the ranges of our singers, but our choir is very small and has very few singers, so we’ll try to do it as a recording project instead so that we can double people.

The choir director/music theory teacher estimated this probability at 30% when I asked her
