This is an excellent bit of tunage!
 
My only crit would be the instrument after Rik plays his bit at first then that instrument comes in. It seems to loud to me.
 
Great piece!!! Very well done!!!!

Very emotional music.  The guitar was perfect for adding depth to the tune.  It really builds around 3 min.  Beautifully done by both of you.

Terry and Rik, you two do amazing work. This was a pleasure to listen to. 
 
Did you use Kontakt for this? Whatever you used it sounds like the real deal.

good idea to re-do this one, it's worth it.
i like the melodies.... they sound familiar, but then always change up just enough to go somewhere new.
it's easy to fall into 'common' melodies with songs built with the kind of chord structure (up and down repeating motif)
agree with ian about the horn solo at the beginning, it sounds great, but is rich enough in tone to NOT need to be as loud as it is.
it can start very low, and build to the end of it's part.
i dig the guitar mix, it only gets a bit buried in the last long section, but really, that's the way it would be with a real orchestra, eh?
as much as i love the guitars, i'd leave the mix like it is there.
maybe crank the guitar for the very last line.....

This is truly wonderful:)  The professional guitar part is overshadowed a bit at times, but that climax and the transition back to the choir and guitar is heavenly.

Great recording. Seamless and smooth. The composition is excellent. I really like the transitions and how the song builds. Feels epic. Thanks for posting this.

If there was a remake of Moby Dick perhaps they could use this, it certainly has that cinematic epicness/epicality (my spell checker's having a breakdown). I would certainly like to hear this played by a full symphony orchestra. You have created a great collaboration here.
