I liked it. Simple, enjoyable, but as has been pointed out, the strings do dominate slightly. It was a welcome release when the horns took over towards then end, but I feel you could've done more with them, or introduced more of the brass section, perhaps some loud triumphant chords to sum up the conclusion of the year. I also would've enjoyed some woodwind action, perhaps an oboe or flute doubling the melody at the start?
Nontheless, thoroughly enjoyable
