Good morning, all! I have much to do here this morning before I head down to City Center. I've got to transpose about 40 bars of the schmidt-Jones song "Thousands of Flowers" from the printed key of D-flat to B major (down 1 full step) because, once again, the arranger didn't do his job of providing a prnted transposition (just an mp3 file; oh, joy!) and I discovered on Sunday that looking at D-flat and thinking in B works for the strings and flutes, but when I get to a harp in the scale of C-flat, horns in G-flat or F-sharp, and trumpets and clarinets in the key of D-flat, my head explodes with too many intervals to distinguish and mentally transpose. So, I need to write a piano transposition and see the notes in their correct tonality before I can think about the orchestration.
So, after this, I must head to City Center to drop off my IRMA LA DOUCE work, talk to Rob about tese Trinity Church concerts, and then head to my doctor for a look at this cyst/abscess/whatever on my chest at 3:30. I will be glad to get home.
