Story behind the song
one of the great scene's from the movie, enhanced by John Horner's superb soundtrack. I'm doing a mix of keyboard MIDI for strings, piano, & harp, & my Carvin guitar synth through the Roland GR-55 for horns, flute, and the choral voice's drums played on my DD55

This is a perfectly created song and musical performance. It's truly Heavenly. Your one instrument that fades into a voice of a Bird in places. That is incredible.
Atmosphere to the max very professional sounding Michael .
