Another rhythm chart

I mentioned earlier in the week how I was practicing for my new CD using rhythm charts created by Steve Mauldin, the orchestrator. Here is part of one that sort of made me wince when I saw it.  Notice all the time signature changes.

Yes, there are 7 time signature changes in 14 measures.

So how does this happen? It happened because I created an arrangement in my mind without really thinking about how it would look on paper. The rhythm I am using is complex–perhaps a little too much so.

It is not really a problem except other people are going to be reading this music. Fortunately, the orchestra is used to sight reading music that is at least this rhythmic. On the other hand, I plan to publish these arrangements and some pianists are going to find this a bit challenging, especially when trying to play along with the orchestration.

So, is this kind of thing good or bad? I am still on the fence about it but it is too late to change it now.
