I liked the idea of the piece, since mixing the somber narration "The Raven" with the slapstick song Yakety Sax definitely changed the experience of listening to the piece. At the start I thought the music was a bit quite, but I began to appreciate it more as the music went to its more franctic parts, while the narration remained slow and deadpan. Some moments in the piece that I thought were really good were during the pauses in the narration, so to improve the piece, perhaps you could edit the narration so those points are more prominent. Overally, excellent idea, but the execution could have been improved with some slight adjustments.
