Hey Foxhull,

I took some time to look over your notes and try sketching some things out myself to get an idea of how this could work out, and I think your notes are good as they are.

I'm going to be away from the first of July to perhaps mid-August, so I want to give you a next step that can give you something to work on until then.

Having seen your outline, I'm confident in your abilities so what I'm going to ask of you is that you work on producing a full arrangement of this piece for the ensemble that you detailed above. It doesn't have to be final and it can (and should be) full of notes. As you work on it, if there's any section that has you unsure or that you have a question about or anything like that, put a little note in and move on and we'll address it when I take a look at it.

Essentially, you're putting together a draft of the arrangement. I want it to be as complete as you can have it given your schedule between now and when I get back. Try to think of how much time you'll have and then work on this version accordingly; if you have lots of time then go into more detail with the complexity of your parts and the length of the piece (if you're going to be adding parts). If you won't have too much time, then just focus on getting those notes translated into actual written form with a sketchy version of the final product.

You basically have until I get back. I probably won't have internet access while I'm gone, so that's why I suggested that you just sketch in any questions as notes on the score for when I get return to look at them.

Good luck and ask me any questions now before July 1st
