Orchestration and Arrangement Lessons
So you want to write for larger ensembles or you want to arrange music for a given instrumentation! This is a skill like anything else, and you don’t really need to go to school to get a degree to do this as long as you have good guidance from a good composition teacher.
This is Toccata by Khatchaturian for piano, orchestrated for wind ensemble.
This is an arrangement of Scott Joplin’s Wall Street Rag for Band. I know Ragtime is never swung but in the voice of band it sounded right to me.
Orchestrations and Arrangements
This is a piano work by Debussy, orchestrated for reed quintet (Oboe, Clarinet, Alto Sax, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon).
