Nice arrangement of sealed grounds! A few things:
First, if you want to submit this, you're going to want to put the copyright at the bottom. (Also, give yourself some arranger credit, I mean goddamn
)
As far as writing goes, there are some spots where you stretch the right hand more than it needs to. While it's usually ok to write intervals up to a 10th, if you can avoid that by switching hands, that's usually preferable. I generally just do that for anything wider than an octave, if it's possible. So, spots like in bars 12, 13, and 14, I would move the eighth notes down to the left hand (especially 14, you have them playing an 11th in one hand, haha; that goes for the full measure, too, because it'd make those 32nd notes a lot easier to play). Go ahead and do that wherever applicable in the rest of the piece, too.
Also, your rests are a little funky at times. For example, every time you have a quarter rest starting on the "and" of beat 2. There are some cases where it's not as defined whether you can cross the center of a bar with a rest, but doing so with a quarter rest in 4/4 is generally a no-no. So, in places like bars 10, 14, and 18 where you do this, the quarter rest in the middle should instead be two eighth rests. As far as half rests crossing the center of a measure goes, to my knowledge, it's not
as definitively wrong, but I've more frequently seen those divided into quarter rests. In other words, the half rests in bars 7, 11, 15, 19, and anywhere they're used the same way, would instead be written as two quarter rests.
Anyways, that's all for now, I'm really tired. I'll look at it again tomorrow. Maybe I'll find some more things then, or maybe I'll look back and realize I wasn't making any sense. It's always a gamble at this hour.
But still, nice arrangement.
