Good arrangement! I'm still developing my orchestration skills, so I couldn't really comment on your orchestration, but I do find the interplay between the various groups interesting. I didn't know about the song, though. Do you do a lot of these kinds of arrangements?

This is a nice arrangement, but I was left scratching my head a little between 1:00 and about 1:50. Is that middle minor section in the original song? Or are you developing material? If it is development I think you need to go further. Also, I'm not a fan of the lead-in to the final section, but overall this is very good work.

Thanks guys!

The middle minor section was my own take on the tune, we had to just have a simple theme and variation. It is for 3rd year musician ship on my degree.

Glad you enjoyed it!
