Loved the instrumentals.

"Falling Slowly" has always been an enjoyable song for me to listen to, but it never really engaged me that much. It was just a little too repetitive, and I am someone that really cares about the music behind the words. This arrangement is moving, interesting, has a great shape to the whole song, and is just a more enjoyable piece to listen to. Much more feeling in this version, and I love it!

I have always loved the simplicity of this song, and while this orchestration is far from simple it maintains the same sense of emotional immediacy that draws me in to the original. For a fan of epic, soul-stirring orchestrations this is a must have! The solo cello, oboe, and flute parts are a nice counterpoint to the vocals, which are immaculately performed; but the real star of the show is the orchestra. Nice job!
