> 1) What are the various compositional tools we have for writing for
large ensemble?

traditional notation. time based notation. graphic notation.
conduction/cuing. improvisation. i-ching, etc etc etc. i don't think
there's any real question of how to compose for large ensemble, mr.
devil's advocate. 


PG:
Thanks for the responses, WW.

I realize a lot of the questions were fairly pedestrian. The idea was to
offer people on the list that have never written for - or have tried to
direct - improvising or new music large ensembles a chance to know more
about the ways that we deal with some of those problems. I can see
someone benefiting from the responses you gave (when you weren't being
quite so cheeky). Forgive my pesky nature, which is to work to
disseminate what could be useful information. But the information is
only as useful as the response in this case. The questions are just
there to stimulate some kind of dialogue.
