I enjoyed this, but thought it would have benefited form a slightly slower pace. I felt like it needed a little more room to breathe. The narrator's voice is excellent, but could use a little bit more variation throughout the course of the piece to show a greater range of feeling and break up the length.

Also, I wasn't quite convinced by the music, it tended to distract me. I think that introducing the music more deliberately at limited strategic points would help this piece.
