Good piece, but too much music
I know music can set the mood for a piece, and I don't have a problem with the musical selections used here. They were well chosen. There is such a thing as "too much of a good thing", however. I think the music breaks were too long and too many. Instead of setting the scene, they ended up breaking up the narrative and disrupting (or at least slowing down) the flow of the story.
