This is a spectacular work that touches our hearts, the lyrics are so deep and elaborated that it simply corroborates what you mention about the composer, he was undoubtedly a very good one and you have paid him a just tribute.
It was a pleasure to listen to you dear Jerry, our respects.
Thank you so much @musicandreview, It really has been a labor of love. If I had waited another week, I probably could have done it by memory and maybe with all the little slips (there was one place just as I was transitioning into the instrumental break, where I missed a particularly personal type of arpeggio (if you look at my face, you can see me grimace as I settled for what I had, rather than start all the way from the top again) but all in all, I am very pleased with the result
