Well, this has certainly been a long time coming. Now, we see the end result.

I very much enjoyed the mixture of styles you employ. The percussion against the orchestra is quite hypnotic - no doubt a live performance would enhance this effect further, given the visual aspect along with the absence of GPO.

I did find quite a lot of repetition, especially harmonically, but my guess is that's because there are no lyrics in the synthesised renditions, and the audience's attention will need to be trained on the narrator from time to time. Thus, the music sometimes needs to occupy the background.

I would be very interested to hear this live if you ever get the opportunity, since GPO really doesn't do it proper justice. Congratulations on a fine work!
