Sorry to see I never commented. Watched it a time or two. Speaks to me quite clearly. I do love how the words keep perfect pace with the music. Really well done.

Thanks for linking me to this. As always I find this tune moving and, for me, a brass band is the only vehicle for this tune.
I also found the words sweet and moving and fit well to the music in both tempo and tone. (Although I might suggest a slight twitch in one of the lines to. "Our two hearts said I will"
I would like to have heard someone actually singing this as, although I tried, my voice is not in the right range for such a piece.
That leads me to the only real criticism of the experience. I was so frustrated at reading a line at a time in such a jerky fashion. I understand what you were trying to do but if I couldn't actually hear the words and music together I would have prefered to read them at my own pace a few times before the music. It is hard to read and re-read a line to savour meaning with a presentation like this. Elegant though it is.
