Arranging. Inspiration. Not really.

So I've been put into the situation of needing to arrange a hymn tune for 2-octave bell choir in <36hrs, that can be put together with a minimum of rehearsal. When I first sat down to begin the process ~8 hours ago I was flooded with ideas. I thought "Wow, I havn't been able to write anything significant in more than a year and now, under pressure, I'm going to be able to put a bit of myself into this arrangement rather than simply manipulate a choral arrangment to fit into 2 octaves." Here I am 8 hours, a nap, and some sub-par chinese food later and I am totally stumped by the simplicity of the tune. I still have the ideas, they just aren't the right ones.

What to do...
