Thanks! The dynamics were actually one of those things that required the most time to get right. As for the songs length and choice of instruments, I had planned for a more euphoric section with lots of instruments covering the whole audio spectrum, but I had to cut it short and small because of the approaching deadline.
Still I think that most of this turned out pretty good, because I wanted a dynamic song made of crossovers between the small, quiet and more careful parts and then the big full-orchestra sections.

Glad you liked it! And thanks again!

Thanks! Well, we discussed the project before I started and we agreed that I shouldn't use too many instrument layers and such and not to make it necessarily big, becouse we wanted to retain the melancholy feel of the original, thus use a melody line with one or two backing instruments, and then make crescendos and fortes at certain places to make it effectful...

thanks for reviewing!
