That is the main difference I am talking about between the two versions. I agree that Blue Fields would sound annoying with orchestral marimbas as well, so there is some degree of instrumentation involved in making a song appealing.

The arrangement you made with your team changes the scope of the song too, but I think I prefer the solo oboe, myself.

Oh, and I think I didn't make it clear enough, but I was referring to OWA while discussing the brass staccatos. Maybe you still got it, though.
