James, I really like the backing tracks on this one but I have to agree with David in that I don't think the instrumentation fits the sonnet. FWIF if I were to attempt something this difficult I would start with a nylon string fingerpicked guitar, a cello and maybe a string orchestra in the background. But unlike you I am nowhere near capable to tackle a project like this one.

I also agree with Herb about the synth vocal. You have a great speaking voice so why not recite the sonnet yourself?

On a side note save those backing tracks for another project as they are really good.
