r.i.p

Your proposed musical composition sounds fascinating. I like the idea of 
translating from one medium into another, and you have ideas of how to 
proceed. Give it a try. Perhaps The Canada Council would support your 
project. If you get to the point where your composition looks commercial we 
can talk to my agent. The thing now is for you to start composing. My thanks 
to you, and to your girlfriend for suggesting you use my long poem. All the 
best. Robert
