Run Run Run - Symphonic Folk Song

The old irish folk rock band, corneryboy, I used to be in wrote this song and I found the lyric sheet the otherday, I liked it and so I decided to rearrange it and make it more symphonic. Let me know how it hits you. arrangement, instrument and mix wise.

    Really like this Cian, excellent arranging. One of your best vocals IMHO, very good indeed, BGV's too. I like the use of the martial snare, that works a treat, it really lifts the chorus. Top job.

    As usual this is very well done.  I enjoyed listening to this and in particular, I like your mixing decisions.  Very good vocals, too.  :)

    Hey thanks everybody. I think I have this pretty solid.
    Although I got a suggestion to focus on the lower cello a bit more which I might do
     
    Cheers,

    Nice majestic arrangement, Cian! I liked musically what you did, and great singing as usual. Beautiful ending with soloing the high pitched vocal like that. Usually when there is timpani and snare in an orchestra there is a whole string section to match that. I liked the solo cello and pizzicato parts but maybe you can mix it with full strings or put it in at the end? Otherwise, great arr and orchestration.

    Yeah...  I really like the arrangement on this one, particularly good.   Of course your vocals sound great, but what you've done outside of that I think may be one of your strongest pieces yet.

    I never heard this one before. As always your singing is good enough to carry this alone, but the addition of the other parts adds so much spice to it. I was waiting to hear overt symphony sounds. I didn't think it was overly symphonic. A great mix that highlights your voice perfectly! Nice!!
