Mike,
Lovely composition—sweet and sad and pretty. Definitely would love to hear it with the vocal to see how that impacts the emotion of the tune. Great lift with the orchestra at about 2:40 or so. Well done, Mike. Good stuff!
All my best to you,
Deej Thanks for listening Deej. Your kind words are appreciated. Cheers, Mike

That's a pretty powerful arrangement.
Personally, I prefer the simpler parts.
Nicely done.

Really beautiful and melancholic instrumental, reflects nicely the mood of the inspiring poem. The piano sounds great, I enjoyed the dynamic arrangement, doesn't sound repetitive at any moment. Would work very well in a movie, in a goodbye scene.
Janne Thanks so much for listening Janne. Your encouraging words made my day. Cheers, Mike

Absolutely beautiful and moving piece.
The mood of the music in the beginning (as you noted on SC) matches the poem. At 1:25 the celebration is clearly conveyed. The change at 3:50/ending brings closure.
Brilliantly composed. Wow, thank you Mr Storm  I really appreciate those comments. I should frame them. In Australia we have a saying when we get something worthwhile: "This is going straight to the pool room". Cheers, Mike

Mike, I almost missed this one but I'm glad that I didn't. Everything already has been said so all I can add is "this is the best instrumental I have heard on these forums"! Excellent chops and Kontakt sounds.
Loved it.

There are a host of accolades that could be said about this fine arrangement and mix.
For us suffice it to say, "contemplative. emotive and lovely."
