The most intellient, sensitive, and inventive re-orchestration of a Sondheim song I've ever heard.

I used to sing this in my high school choir back around the time of these comments, in 2014-2019. When I hear this it’s almost like I’m there again.

This is a beautiful arrangement...I don't think I have ever heard it sound so rich and emotional.
