A sleepless night of auto-immune twitches and itches leads into an arduous, arduous day of notating Tree Of Keys. Scores now complete for: Let's Take A Walk In The Desert, Murmuration, Anxious Sparrow (some shortcuts taken here), The Death Of Tuesday, Dream Of The Tao, Haiku.
The complex piano tunes are nightmarish to notate. Although based on the MIDI sequence of my playing, I'm often tidying things to remove bunches of notes and make the score at least readable. Considering I improvised it with ease in one take, it would take a virtuoso to play it from the score. It's a bit like creating an ink blot, then describing exactly how to reproduce it.
In a rare move, I've included the strings, brass, and bass parts for the fundamentally piano tunes of 'Murmuration' and 'The Dark Cliffs'. These are, I hope, the most difficult to score, so to make headway on both in one day is a victory in itself.
Tomorrow I must pause to visit the Stapeley Wildlife Centre for a meeting about the Christmas project, then to get the wood for my shelves. Wednesday is our regular trip to Congleton Library for Good Vibrations; so these tiresome scores will be on hold until Thursday.
