    Hello

    It sounds really nice and pleasant.

    It’s also very straightforward.

    The harp takes the place of the left hand, and the bass provides reinforcement.

    The strings accompany the melody, and at times they reinforce it in homophony.

    I think orchestrating this kind of “flat” music, with few dynamic contrasts, is difficult. But there are many resources in the strings that can be used.

    I’m no expert at orchestrating either; I’m still learning.
