Oh no, I have a firm grasp of theory and have no problems composing or arrangements.

However, writing a chorale symphony IS a major pain even for the pros.

I was essentially asked to write words for a three section chorus and adapt a ballet into a chorale symphony for novice (at best) vocalists.

If it were a capella or a soloist, no problem, but this? I, and the one making the commission, don't know the size of the chorus... so that just adds another layer, all for a steak dinner.
