Same feeling here. I get really hyped when i get an idea and I get really into it, but if i get stuck for a bit or i don't get enough time to work on it, i drop it. I started arranging: Unforgotten (Halo), Julia's Theme (FFVIII), Lux Aeterna/Requiem for a Tower (Clint Mansell... i think i spelled his name wrong), and a couple songs from FFI. There are others too, but i can't even remember them and these are the most recent.

Unforgotten is called Never Forget, but the titles may vary =D

So i would like to be the first one to ask for help in the OFFICAL Arrangement Help Thread. I was listening to music today and and idea popped in my head "I should get on my computer right now and write some music!" i was very confident and opened up Finale and made a new document and everything......then i sat here for a while with no idea of what to put down. really anything at all. Maybe some suggestions?

So you're saying you want to compose something and not arrange instead?

yes. Fanfare for a full concert band or something for a brass quintet.

[LegendaryCloud89]

Ok...so a fanfare...the way I start off composing something pretty spontaneous. Something like a simple motive will pop into my head and I'll write it down if I have manuscript paper with me...but if not I'll play it in my head a few times to make sure I'll remember it later when I can put it in my computer.

But something fanfarific...ummm...you have no ideas? Why not start off with some call and responce of bell tones with the brass?

k thank you. Ive started something, its pretty dark. but ill keep that in mind for a fanfare. Im sure ill use it to write one soon. It seems like once i start to write something im fine. but i just cant start to write. its the hardest part for me.

I recently just started an arrangement of Desire For All That is Lost, though I don't know what Key it is.

Also, I just submitted Dearly Beloved to the archive.
