Dan, wow, both of these are quite spectacular! The orchestral version is majestic and would be a thrilling finale for any program of music. It's just HUGE and very satisfying.

That being said, I like the stripped down version better, since I LOVE the vocals, and I can feel them better without the other instrumentation. That's just my preference, I can understand strong feelings on both sides.

Either way, you, Bob and Gene did a superb job on the vocals, and your accompaniment is spot on for both versions. Very nice!
