This arrangement of Don't Stop Believin' is getting a bit out of hand. I forced myself to go to bed last night around 00:30 when I simply was too tired to continue working. By working, I meant doing some calculus multiple choice questions and working on my arrangement. The thing is that the piece is not that hard to arrange. However, some things like voicing and harmony are too complicated to do in 20 minutes - the amount of time I had for working on the piece before I went to school. In general, the only problem I have now is an underdeveloped viola part and transcribing the guitar solo about three minutes in the piece.
Either way, I'm glad one draft is done. And with the rehearsal today, hopefully we (we as in my ego and superego) can make adjustments to the arrangment accordingly based on the stuff I heard. There are some people in the class who are very passionate in hating this piece and really not wanting to do it. And basically here's this: I am basically arranging the piece I want to do. They can't tell me what I want to arrange, and should they be very passionate about what song they want to do, they should arrange it themsevles. So today, I'm goign to give the warning, "for all of you who don't like this piece, please keep share you comments now. I dont' want to hear any criticism except about my arrangment except for how it could be improved based on our rehearsal."
I simply don't need any more belittlement in orchestra.
