It's ambitious and comes off successfully. I enjoyed listening, and it's given me some inspiration--writing some type of symphonic or orquestral work is on my todo list, but seems daunting.

Thanx so much Tom for taking the time to listen and comment.

Yes I kept the chord structure very simple, i.e. Am-Dm-Am-Gm. I wanted to concentrate on the instruments interactions with having to mess around with a complicated chord structure.

I did try some classical styles but they didn't really fit my vision for this song. For awhile I didn't think I would find a style that would fit but our good friends at PGM came through again.

I'm sure that you will do just fine writing and produce a symphonic/orchestral piece of music.

I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
