Ready As I'll Ever Be (VAT7K Reprise) | Varian and the Seven Kingdoms

DISCLAIMER: CREATIVE LIBERTIES WERE TAKEN WITH THE STORY.
Context: In the series finale, the gang prepares to open the Eternal Library. Donella and Cyrus make preparations to stop them. Hugo struggles with what he will have to reveal to the group.
She finally did it, she did a full ensemble song!!! This one has been a looooong time coming. For the sake of this reprise we’re going to assume that:
- Hugo has told Donella that he no longer wants to be part of her plan, but he hasn’t told the gang about his original motives yet.
- Ulla is a dangerous being of power, and Donella knows this and is trying to keep her locked in the library.

♫ FUN FACTS FOR MUSIC NERDS ♫
The arrangement was replicated by ear from the original, with a few additions sprinkled in. I wanted to pull from my previous VAT7K arrangements so that instruments that were heavily featured in previous songs for these characters came back, making this a culmination of all the VAT7K songs I’ve been writing over the past year! Here are the instruments:
✯ Donella = oboe & viola (Donella’s Song & Orbit)
✯ Varian = piano & trumpet (Worlds to Discover)
✯ Hugo = snare drum & timpani (Slippery Slope)
✯ Yong = saxophone (The One Thing You Won’t Regret)
✯ Nuru = glockenspiel (Blaze a Trail)
Also, the end of the song is written in 7-part harmony… (the seventh voice is Ulla's drawing them toward the library.)
