New Hooch

There is no dark side of the Internet, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.

Peter Weller: Can you sing?

Jeff Goldblum: A little, yeah. I can dance!

I finished recreating the score of Snootful of Hooch yesterday. This morning I made a start on the new arrangement (for two C flutes and Alto Flute.) If the score reconstruction was a tediously mechanical task (it was) preparing the new arrangement is quite engaging. Engaging but not speedy. It probably helps that there is a performance in the offing. I’ll never know why the couple I wrote it for ignored it. I’m 70 measures in on the new scoring, and while I am pleased with the progress, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
