I'm almost done the transcription.
I found myself just starting to get into the transcription when our friends dropped by for a visit. It's always nice to have people over, too bad it slows down the steam that you had going for your work. The unexpected is what makes life so interesting and fun. So, after my friends left, I went back at it for another hour; with more yawns than I was planning that night. The neat thing about the visit is that the arrangement is for my friends. Tonight I'm planning to have it all done to give them tomorrrow. I'm not too worried. It will be done.
If there was an exercise I would advise people to try is to take a choral piece and transcribe it; or any piece of music. It's a chance to get an idea behind the arrangers musical tools and devices used for a piece of music. I've definately learned a fair bit from this transcription. I just have to get it done.
