The more I listen to these, the more I appreciate your incredibly artistry. The four-note motif not only integrates the material, but is developed in astonishing ways. I think your setting of the text is excellent, being both highly melodic and expressive. In addition, I really enjoyed the interplay between the cello, voice and piano.
The image that you used to start this one was breathtaking, and I loved the way the clouds sort of cleared as the song started. Also, the image of the twin towers was very moving.
Though your singer has a lovely voice and good diction, I had an easier time hearing her live than on this recording. I wonder if it would be worth putting the text under as she sings? Just a thought.
