While I take your point about using stereo positioning to enhance the
music, I would never use it to assist instrument balance. Indeed I
make a point of listening in mono as a final check.

Our listeners may be using a small portable, or moving from room to
room while using our music as background, so it should sound good with
all instruments as clear as possible under these conditions.

I've made a few more adjustments to it, and think it is now in its final
form. While maybe not technically ideal, I think it works well. The deep
chimes have been softened and some timing errors in the 'choir' have
been put right, along with a general balancing of levels.

The melody can be heard clearly all the way through, and some descant
note clashes have been corrected.
