I haven't touched this stuff since I was in a residential music program
at Northwestern during the suumer, between two high school years, I took
a class in orchestration but don't recall much beyond the instructor
explaining the difference between writing to the scale the piece is in
and writing to the scale certain ibstruments expect because they expect transposition.
This video explains a few things about how writing in four-part harmony
for a chorale can be the basis for orchestration.
'Scuse me whilst I write that synphony, marking it sound like Korngold
sounding like Rachmaninoff and selling it as a movie score.

Note (heh) that the musical line being score sure sounds like Bach.
Can't you hear the organ?
