So, here's how I'm coming along on my goal to do more arranging/composing. As of this morning, I now have about 1 1/2 minutes of a jazzy rendition of O'Carolan's Sheebeg and Shemore. My inspiration has been Dave Brubeck's Kathy's Waltz (which starts out in 4/4) as performed by the Quartet San Francisco. The texture has to be much thinner in my version since it is only for violin and cello, though I may want to make a trio or quartet version of it, too, someday.
Tomorrow we play through what I have written down so far to see what works and what doesn't, and then....expand!
