Oh, holy wow! This is beautiful: the long slow build of Brandon and Marianne's courtship is a perfect match for the relentless drive of this piece of music, and I love the way her moment of agony in the windswept hills is mirrored by the tension in the music -- and also the way the brash festivity of the piece's ending is mirrored by their wedding. Beautiful, beautiful! What a wonderful encapsulation of their relationship. Thank you so much, Festividder! You rock!

You are very welcome. This was a joy to vid. One of my favorite movies, and the search for the music was an epic one, but very satisfying. I'm really really glad that you like it!

Oh, wow, this really worked for me. I loved how the slow build-up of the music matched your story line, and I thought the long clips were perfect, both for the music and the period style of the footage. Eee, Brandon is my favorite! :D

This was SPLENDID! From the moment I heard your musical choice I thought it was an inspired soundtrack for their storyline -- definitely the slow but steady build.
