Beth, lovely song. Do pray your friends are ok. Know communications are crippling the ability to know the extent of the damage and loss, even still. What a mess...

The "hissing flute" really wasn't noticeable to me. Most flute patches have a breath envelope in the attack. If your flutes were MIDI (and not a loop) you could edit the patch in the synth to reduce the breath attack. But I think it's fine.

The congas at about 2:00 sounded a bit out of sync to me, or at least they didn't feel like they contributed. But I liked the congas at about 4:00 as they seem a nice extra dynamic to drive the song to the conclusion.

Genre? Hmmm. New Age? The relaxing music and message of hope and redemption seem to fit. But I'm neither an expert nor a fan of genre categorization...

BUT...I did love your song!
